I'm a teacher here and The median home value here is around $367,000, which seems about average. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I've lived in Downtown for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good internet infrastructure
- The community vibe scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
