Anyone else love living in Hillview?

Longtime lurker here, I'm single, late 40s, and You can expect to pay around $1,314 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 6.9%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

As someone who grew up here, it's exactly what I was looking for. A lot has changed in the past few years though. food scene used to be much growing but now it's pretty good.

Used to live on the Downtown side, now on the Old Town side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.
