Biggest downsides of living in Robertsville?

Ava Nguyen Mar 3, 2025

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely average and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. My neighborhood (Highland) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from LA, be prepared for the culture shock. job market is completely different here. And Dating scene is rough.

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 lived in Sunset for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Active local events and festivals
- The housing market scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Rising rent and home prices

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. No regrets on my end..
