Hello, Average temperature is around 64--F, so the weather is moderate. Any advice would be great.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value walkability, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely pretty good and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (Westside) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.
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.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want food scene, then yeah this place is great. But if housing market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I've lived in Fairview for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The safety scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

The food scene here is better than expected. Tons of great craft beer places. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

If you value weather, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely challenging and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Cedar Grove) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Raleigh, be prepared for the culture shock. safety is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.
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.
