As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. community vibe used to be much manageable but now it's solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Springfield. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in construction. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've lived in Westside for about 15 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 Charlotte, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- The cost of living scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.
