I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Midtown for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Strong sense of community
- The nightlife scene is surprisingly good

The downsides:
- Homeless population growing downtown
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The walkability is challenging compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
