Anyone else love living in Kendale Lakes?

Curious what people think. I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Average temperature is around 77--F, so it's warm year-round. Median household income is $69,150, which feels about average for the area. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Thoughts? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Worth doing your research before committing.

Hot take but I love the pace of life here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 15 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've lived in Westside for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
- The job market scene is solid

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Limited high-paying job options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Happy to answer more specific questions..
