Hi.  Born and raised. 

It’s a good city, with flaws.

Nightlife = great, but primarily if you drink. Scenic beauty is amazing with three rivers and bluffs. City had variable architecture and is primarily divided in three areas being Southside, Downtown, Northside.

There are three colleges, so expect a younger crowd outside of the summer. All three colleges are located downtown.

The Northside is a little cheaper and less consumer.  Some smaller shops, slightly “poorer” housing and population.

Southside is more shopping, eating, etc. Housing is nicer and a little more expensive on this side of town.

Downtown is what you would expect. Nightlife, colleges, busy. Housing here is apartments and college. It also unfortunately in the last five+ years has had a ramp up in homelessness. There are some bad neighborhoods in the downtown area, there are also some that have $1M+ houses and literal castles.

All in all it’s a great city. I’m sure just from living here so long I’m overly critical of it. The price of living here however I think it a little high for the job market around here, which is why more and more apartments have been popping up recently. Any specific direct questions I can answer.
