I've lived in Eastside for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Four distinct seasons
- The healthcare scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The dating scene is solid compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'm a teacher and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. The community is better than expected and there's always something going on.
