Hello, I'm a 42-year-old lawyer and Rent is about $2,222/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 73--F, so it's warm year-round. The weather takes some getting used to. What neighborhoods would you suggest? The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's been a really good experience overall.

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

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it exceeded my expectations. No regrets on my end..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 1 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the The Heights side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
