So, I've been here for 13 years and You can expect to pay around $925 for rent here. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Does this match your experience? Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. it's not perfect but it works for me. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Downtown for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Affordable housing options
- The weather scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've been living here for 6 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The job market is solid compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in Riverside area are challenging. Kids love it here.
