Curious what people think. Rent is about $1,797/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Anyone in a similar situation? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I'm a pharmacist and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.

As someone who grew up here, I love the pace of life here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. pet-friendliness used to be much wild but now it's challenging.

Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 2 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've lived in West for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The food scene scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
