Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I have mixed feelings honestly. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is food scene. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

I've lived in North for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Lots of new development happening
- The healthcare scene is challenging

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

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Happy to answer more specific questions..
