Moving to Eastpointe with kids -good idea?

Curious what people think. It's a a smaller city city with about 34,003 people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Worth the trade-offs? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value job market, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely improving and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (Sunset) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Austin, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Can feel isolated.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Used to live on the Meadowbrook side, now on the Midtown side. Completely different vibe. I have mixed feelings honestly.

But if you're coming from Charlotte, be prepared for the culture shock. job market is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.
