I've lived in Midtown for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Seattle, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Active local events and festivals
- Four distinct seasons
- The traffic scene is decent

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Rising rent and home prices

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 5 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is decent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Maple Ridge. It's improving for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in finance. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
