Hey, We're a young couple and Crime rate is something to consider -Millbrook sits at 486.2 per 100K. Median household income is $64,522, which feels about average for the area. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Has anyone dealt with this?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 2 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

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

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value community vibe, you'll love it. The cultural scene is genuinely better than expected and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (East) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from LA, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Limited shopping options.
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.

Moved here from Austin about 7 years ago. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Still getting used to outdoor recreation but No regrets on my end..

My experience has been mostly positive. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The only thing I'd watch out for is cost of living. Other than that, Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've been living here for 8 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The school system is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

If you value dating scene, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely surprisingly good and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Sunset) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Portland, be prepared for the culture shock. school system is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.
