Been meaning to ask this. What would you do? Appreciate any input. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

We moved here with our family and the quality of life is solid. Schools in Oak Park area are improving. Kids love it here.

Used to live on the The Heights side, now on the Meadowbrook side. Completely different vibe. it's not perfect but it works for me.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value pet-friendliness, you'll love it. The school system is genuinely hit or miss and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Sunset) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Salt Lake City, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Homeless population growing downtown.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
