Hey folks, Median household income is $132,760, which feels pretty solid for the area. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

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

Bought a house here in 2023 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

I've lived in West for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The school system scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Hope this helps!.
