Bought a house here in 2017 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Houston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Cedar Grove. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in engineering. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is dating scene. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.

Used to live on the The Heights side, now on the Midtown side. Completely different vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here.

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The weather is decent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..
