The unemployment rate is 4.3%, which is about average. Homes are going for about $859,600 on average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What are your go-to spots? TIA! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

My experience has been mostly positive. I have mixed feelings honestly. The only thing I'd watch out for is housing market. Other than that, Hope this helps!.

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. dating scene used to be much wild but now it's pretty good.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Riverside. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in marketing. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Korean.
Definitely worth checking out..

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The community vibe is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..
