Hey folks, I'm single, late 50s, and You can expect to pay around $2,233 for rent here. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Would love some local perspective. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Bought a house here in 2023 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are surprisingly good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 1 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the East side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

I've been living here for 6 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The cultural scene is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in Westside for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Four distinct seasons
- Close to major attractions
- The cost of living scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
