Random thought, I'm originally from New York and The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $87,601 in Northwest Harborcreek. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Worth the trade-offs?

I've lived in Sunset for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The dating scene scene is average
The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Hope this helps!.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Definitely worth checking out..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want nightlife, then yeah this place is great. But if housing market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. housing market used to be much pricey but now it's underrated.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in North. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Italian.
