Anyone else feel this way? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Thoughts?

I've lived in Uptown for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- The nightlife scene is underrated
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Hope this helps!.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Internet is decent in most areas.

Bought a house here in 2017 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Miami about 5 years ago. The main reasons were family and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good internet infrastructure
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are developing, gas is tough.
Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Definitely worth checking out..

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 2 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
