I've lived in Eastside for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- The cost of living scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Good luck with whatever you decide..
