My partner and I are Homes are going for about $274,400 on average. The city has invested a lot in new development. Would love some local perspective. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Eastside. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like seafood.
No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Eastside. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in engineering. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like sushi.
No regrets on my end..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is public transit. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Sunset for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Decent public transit for the size
- The school system scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
