As someone who grew up here, the quality of life is solid. A lot has changed in the past few years though. dating scene used to be much growing but now it's hit or miss.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 10 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is challenging.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
No regrets on my end..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Baltimore about 13 years ago. The main reasons were weather and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are growing, gas is pretty good.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. No regrets on my end..

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say it's been a really good experience overall. The safety is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
