The food scene here is average. Tons of great Southern places. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

I'm a nurse and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

I've lived in Meadowbrook for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good internet infrastructure
- The public transit scene is decent
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. Happy to answer more specific questions..
