I've lived in East for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The pet-friendliness scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Nightlife is limited

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Eastside. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in consulting. If you're in education you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.

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

Hope this helps!.

I'm a contractor and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. The community is pretty good and there's always something going on.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is job market. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Worth doing your research before committing.
