The unemployment rate is 4.1%, which is about average. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. TIA! Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The community vibe scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Happy to answer more specific questions..

We moved here with our family and I genuinely enjoy living here. Schools in Uptown area are excellent. Kids love it here.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 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 2-bed in The Heights. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in government. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. it's exactly what I was looking for. Worth doing your research before committing.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are excellent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
