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

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 15 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is surprisingly good.

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

No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Eastside. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally challenging. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like craft beer.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Public transit is surprisingly good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.
