If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it was the best decision I ever made. Internet is excellent in most areas.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's exactly what I was looking for. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in The Heights for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Affordable housing options
- The public transit scene is average
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Bought a house here in 2021 and it's not perfect but it works for me. Property values have gone about the same since then.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Riverside. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
No regrets on my end..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a social worker who relocated here from Nashville about 12 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good healthcare facilities
- Active local events and festivals
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are affordable, gas is excellent.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. No regrets on my end..
