Curious what people think. I grew up here but left for a while. Crime rate is something to consider -Gig Harbor sits at 128.1 per 100K. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I have mixed feelings honestly. Compared to New York it's hit or miss.

I've lived in Eastside 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 Charlotte, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good healthcare facilities
- The safety scene is decent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Good luck with whatever you decide..
