Appreciate any input. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I've lived in Eastside for about 10 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 Pittsburgh, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Four distinct seasons
- The walkability scene is tough
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are excellent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I'm a marketing manager and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.
