Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 11 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is solid.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Riverside side vs the Fairview side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

I've lived in Eastside for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Decent public transit for the size
- The cost of living scene is solid
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Came here for cost of living and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The pet-friendliness is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
