Hello, Born and raised here. Household incomes average around $125,344 in Wayzata. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Thoughts? Looking forward to hearing from you all. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

I've lived in North 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 Denver, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The healthcare scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Nightlife is limited
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from San Francisco about 9 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Decent public transit for the size
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are growing, gas is better than expected.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Feel free to reach out with questions..
