Hey folks, My partner and I are The unemployment rate is 1.8%, which is pretty low. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Would love some local perspective. Thanks in advance! Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Moved here from Pittsburgh about 5 years ago. I have mixed feelings honestly. Still getting used to school system but Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in Uptown for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Lots of new development happening
- The public transit scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. Hope this helps!.
