I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to New York it's solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Eastside. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in finance. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value food scene, you'll love it. The public transit is genuinely decent and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Highland) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Austin, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Can feel isolated.
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.

Bought a house here in 2021 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
