Alright, You can expect to pay around $1,096 for rent here. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I wrong here?

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want job market, then yeah this place is great. But if dating scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Westside. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in government. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Korean.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is cultural scene. it's been a really good experience overall. Worth doing your research before committing.

I'm a software engineer and I've found I love the pace of life here. The community is surprisingly good and there's always something going on.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from San Francisco about 1 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are wild, gas is challenging.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Good luck with whatever you decide..
