Is Malibu worth it salary-wise?
The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 10 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into running, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Cedar Grove side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've lived in Westside for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Close to major attractions
- The safety scene is tough
The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..

I've been here 1 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is challenging.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Springfield. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in tech. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like seafood.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..
