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

I've been here 14 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is average.

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

Definitely worth checking out..

Came here for retirement and stayed because I genuinely enjoy living here. The community vibe is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Downtown. It's improving for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in real estate. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Used to live on the East side, now on the Westside side. Completely different vibe. it was the best decision I ever made.
