Hey folks, I'm originally from Albuquerque and Rent is about $1,186/month for a decent place. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Worth the trade-offs?

I've lived in Riverside for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Strong job market in several industries
- The weather scene is solid
The downsides:
- Dating scene is rough
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. Feel free to reach out with questions..
