Anyone else feel this way? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I've lived in Old Town for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The cultural scene scene is tough
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Rising rent and home prices
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Compared to Portland it's surprisingly good.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.
