I've lived in Pine Hills for about 4 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 San Francisco, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The cultural scene scene is improving

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Hope this helps!.
