Can we talk about I grew up here, left for college, and came back 11 years ago. What's your experience been?

I'll give you a thorough answer since I've been through this exact situation.
I moved to Lakewood Village from Austin about 11 years ago. Initially I was overwhelmed. But after settling in, Traffic has gotten noticeably worse in the past year..
A few things I'd recommend:
- Check out Lakewood Village and Traffic Circle area for housing
- Join local Facebook/Reddit groups for your neighborhood
- Talk to your neighbors - people are friendlier than you'd expect
The biggest adjustment was weather. Downtown has improved dramatically since I first moved here.. Overall I'd give Long Beach a 9/10 for couples.
