If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. the quality of life is solid. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in South. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in finance. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in The Heights for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good healthcare facilities
- The walkability scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Public transit is better than expected here. You'll probably need a car for most things. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

Hot take but there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 14 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the school system is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the Fairview side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..
