OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in East. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in consulting. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Hope this helps!.

I've lived in Downtown for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Active local events and festivals
- Affordable housing options
- The public transit scene is improving
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Feel free to reach out with questions..

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: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Maple Ridge. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in legal. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Raleigh about 5 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Active local events and festivals
- Affordable housing options
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Road conditions need improvement
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are established, gas is hit or miss.
Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.
