Been living here since 2011. Poverty rate is 8.1%, which is pretty low. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Does this match your experience?

Bought a house here in 2021 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Fairview. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in legal. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Korean.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Decent public transit for the size
- The school system scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Weather-wise, the summers are challenging and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cultural scene used to be much manageable but now it's decent.
