Biggest downsides of living in Edina?

OK so My family moved here when I was a kid. Poverty rate is 1.9%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. Homes are going for about $624,000 on average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. What neighborhoods would you suggest? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I genuinely enjoy living here. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've been living here for 11 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The safety is challenging compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 4 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is average.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
