Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if job market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I've lived in Midtown for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Lots of new development happening
- The outdoor recreation scene is challenging

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
