I've lived in Uptown for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Four distinct seasons
- The nightlife scene is improving
The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Came here for retirement and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The walkability is honestly average and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Meadowbrook. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
