Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are wild. You get used to it after the first year.

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

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

I've been here 14 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is challenging.

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

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I work in manufacturing here and the quality of life is solid. The job market for my field is hit or miss. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
