I've lived in Sunset for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Seattle, 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
- Decent public transit for the size
- The traffic scene is decent

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited high-paying job options

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. No regrets on my end..
