So, Born and raised here. Rent is about $1,682/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $409,000, which is pretty steep. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I've lived in Uptown for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport with direct flights
- The nightlife scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. Definitely worth checking out..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want food scene, then yeah this place is great. But if public transit matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I work in real estate here and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The job market for my field is pretty good. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
