I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is community vibe. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Worth doing your research before committing.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value housing market, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely hit or miss and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Cedar Grove) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. weather is completely different here. And Chain restaurants dominate.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Public transit is better than expected here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

Came here for a fresh start and stayed because it's not perfect but it works for me. The cultural scene is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Used to live on the Meadowbrook side, now on the Uptown side. Completely different vibe. it's not perfect but it works for me.

Bought a house here in 2018 and it's not perfect but it works for me. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
