Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 5 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is challenging.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the Old Town side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport with direct flights
- The traffic scene is decent
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Hope this helps!.

Hot take but I have mixed feelings honestly. I know a lot of people disagree but after 2 years here, that's my honest assessment.
