OK so I'm originally from Los Angeles and It's a a small town city with about 10,150 people. The unemployment rate is 4.8%, which is about average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Anyone in a similar situation?

I'm a social worker and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. The community is hit or miss and there's always something going on.

Bought a house here in 2022 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've lived in The Heights for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by housing market. 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 traffic scene is decent
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

The food scene here is tough. Tons of great Indian places. I genuinely enjoy living here.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is public transit. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Worth doing your research before committing.
