I've lived in Downtown for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Strong job market in several industries
- The traffic scene is improving
The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is weather. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Worth doing your research before committing.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.
I've been here 3 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is solid.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Downtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Bought a house here in 2022 and I love the pace of life here. Property values have gone about the same since then.
