Bought a house here in 2022 and it's not perfect but it works for me. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

I've lived in The Heights for about 13 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 Chicago, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The healthcare scene is average
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Compared to San Francisco it's tough.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The healthcare scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
