We moved here with our family and it was the best decision I ever made. Schools in Riverside area are challenging. Kids love it here.

I've been living here for 6 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The nightlife is decent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in West. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in government. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

As someone who grew up here, I'm still on the fence after all this time. A lot has changed in the past few years though. community vibe used to be much reasonable but now it's excellent.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in North. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in real estate. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a social worker who relocated here from Nashville about 10 years ago. The main reasons were family and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Close to major attractions
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Limited shopping options
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is better than expected.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Public transit is surprisingly good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. the quality of life is solid.
