My family moved here when I was a kid. Crime rate is something to consider -Hamilton City sits at 266.3 per 100K. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in Sunset for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The food scene scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've been living here for 1 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The healthcare is decent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Westside. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in construction. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Came here for retirement and stayed because it exceeded my expectations. The dating scene is honestly challenging and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

As someone who grew up here, the quality of life is solid. A lot has changed in the past few years though. dating scene used to be much manageable but now it's excellent.
