Curious what people think. I'm a college student here and You can expect to pay around $867 for rent here. The median home value here is around $200,200, which is actually reasonable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Am I overthinking this? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I've lived in Eastside for about 6 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 Tampa, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good healthcare facilities
- The community vibe scene is decent
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..
