Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.

I've been here 4 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is excellent.

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

No regrets on my end..
