We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in Sunset area are tough. Kids love it here.

I've lived in West for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Four distinct seasons
- The cultural scene scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Dating scene is rough
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. Good luck with whatever you decide..
