Housing market in Johnson Lane right now

Evan Myers Nov 20, 2025

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value cultural scene, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely pretty good and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. My neighborhood (South) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from San Francisco, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Urban sprawl is real.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Hot take but I love the pace of life here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 11 years here, that's my honest assessment.

The food scene here is surprisingly good. Tons of great Indian places. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.
