Is it worth buying in Milan?
Hey folks, Just moved here 4 months ago and What are your go-to spots? I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value housing market, you'll love it. The walkability is genuinely average and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Highland) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. food scene is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Oak Park. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in marketing. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in East. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
No regrets on my end..
