Best restaurants in Treasure Island?
Curious what people think. I relocated for work and I'd say it's better for families than young

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 13 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Eastside side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've lived in West for about 1 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 Portland, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- The public transit scene is tough
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is excellent in most areas.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 15 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

I've lived in West for about 9 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 Raleigh, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Four distinct seasons
- Affordable housing options
- The nightlife scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Definitely worth checking out..

My experience has been mostly positive. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The only thing I'd watch out for is housing market. Other than that, Happy to answer more specific questions..
