Weather-wise, the summers are surprisingly good and winters are growing. You get used to it after the first year.

I've lived in The Heights for about 8 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 Pittsburgh, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Decent public transit for the size
- The healthcare scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. No regrets on my end..
