Hi all, My partner and I are Homes are going for about $228,200 on average. Median household income is $72,907, which feels about average for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What do you all think?

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 15 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The community vibe is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.

I've lived in West for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
- The school system scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Bugs and humidity in summer
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in The Heights for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The food scene scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. No regrets on my end..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value healthcare, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely surprisingly good and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Westside) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. housing market is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.
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.
