Lake Stickney is underrated, change my mind

So, I relocated for work and Homes are going for about $598,400 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Thoughts? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

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

If you value school system, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely solid and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. My neighborhood (Uptown) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Seattle, be prepared for the culture shock. outdoor recreation is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.

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.
