First post here. I'm originally from San Francisco and Rent is about $2,445/month for a decent place. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are hit or miss, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I've lived in Uptown for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. 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:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good airport with direct flights
- The outdoor recreation scene is challenging
The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I work in education here and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The job market for my field is surprisingly good. Definitely worth checking out..

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because it's improved dramatically in recent years. The cost of living is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
