Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value safety, you'll love it. The housing market is genuinely excellent and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Fairview) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The walkability is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Public transit is surprisingly good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's been a really good experience overall.

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is cultural scene. Other than that, Definitely worth checking out..
