I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The healthcare is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..

I've lived in East for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The housing market scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. No regrets on my end..

Weather-wise, the summers are pretty good and winters are affordable. You get used to it after the first year.
