So, Median household income is $144,259, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a small town city with about 18,444 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Let me know your thoughts. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Public transit is better than expected here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

We moved here with our family and I genuinely enjoy living here. Schools in Pine Hills area are underrated. Kids love it here.

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

Alright, I'll give you the full rundown since I see a lot of surface-level answers here.
I've been in Sunset for 13 years. Moved from Tampa for a fresh start. Here's my honest, detailed take:
**Housing:**
The market right now is excellent. We bought in 2018 at k and it's now worth up significantly than that. If you're renting, expect /mo for a decent 4-bed in a safe area. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable.
**Employment:**
manufacturing is strong here. engineering is hit or miss. If you're remote, you'll love the cost of living. Average salaries are affordable for the area.
**Quality of Life:**
I'm still on the fence after all this time. The outdoor scene is underrated - we have mountains within easy driving distance. Dining has gotten so much better in the past few years.
**Schools (if relevant):**
Varies hugely by district. Sunset schools are solid. If you have kids, this should be your number one factor in choosing a neighborhood.
**The Bad:**
I'd be lying if I said everything is great. Limited public transit options. Dating scene is rough. And safety can be frustrating.
**Bottom line:**
For young professionals, I'd say this is a 7/10. No regrets on my end.. Feel free to ask specific questions - happy to help.

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because the quality of life is solid. The outdoor recreation is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
