First post here. Crime rate is something to consider -Encinitas sits at 135.8 per 100K. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Anyone in a similar situation? TIA! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I've lived in Uptown for about 14 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 Salt Lake City, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good internet infrastructure
- The public transit scene is average
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
