I've been living here for 11 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The pet-friendliness is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 8 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is tough.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the The Heights side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
