From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are solid, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Bought a house here in 2017 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in West. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in construction. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: improving. Tons of options if you like craft beer.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 5 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The West side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
