First post here. Rent is about $2,990/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $1,811,100, which is pretty steep. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Would love some local perspective.

I've lived in East for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- The nightlife scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
