Hey folks, I'm a teacher here and You can expect to pay around $1,177 for rent here. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Let me know your thoughts. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in Pine Hills area are excellent. Kids love it here.

I've lived in East for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The weather scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Homeless population growing downtown
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
