Anyone regret moving to Edina?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 1.9%, which is pretty low. It's a a smaller city city with about 53,125 people. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. What do you all think? Appreciate any input.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from New York about 5 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and retirement.

Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons that are real:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are growing, gas is excellent.

Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Bought a house here in 2022 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
