Hey, Rent is about $796/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 14.3%, which is around average. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Am I overthinking this?

I've lived in Uptown for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Four distinct seasons
- The housing market scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. Hope this helps!.

I've lived in Westside for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The walkability scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
