Alright, I've been here for 6 years and Median household income is $85,755, which feels pretty solid for the area. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Appreciate any input. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in Uptown for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Active local events and festivals
- The nightlife scene is decent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. No regrets on my end..
