What I wish I knew before living in Longview Heights
Not sure if this has been asked before, but Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Would love some local perspective. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want housing market, then yeah this place is great. But if cultural scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I'm a software engineer and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. The community is hit or miss and there's always something going on.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.
I've been here 5 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Riverside side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
