Longtime lurker here, Military spouse here. Poverty rate is 6.4%, which is pretty low. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Let me know your thoughts.

Weather-wise, the summers are pretty good and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.

I've lived in Westside for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The healthcare scene is tough
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've been living here for 8 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The housing market is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Feel free to reach out with questions..
