I work in engineering and The unemployment rate is 4.4%, which is about average. Rent is about $1,053/month for a decent place. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Has anyone dealt with this?

I've been living here for 8 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The community vibe is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in Eastside for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Decent public transit for the size
- The traffic scene is average
The downsides:
- Limited entertainment options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
