Most overrated things about Olivette

OK so Poverty rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $450,100, which is pretty steep. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What are your go-to spots? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Moved here from Tampa about 10 years ago. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Still getting used to job market but Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Eastside. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in legal. If you're in retail you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Indian.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I'm a project manager and I've found the quality of life is solid. The community is tough and there's always something going on.
