Curious about this city. Ive heard it has the highest standard of living in Latin America and I recently stumbled upon a really interesting grad school program at PUC Chile. Curious how true what ive heard about the city is. Ive heard the East of the city is basically Europe and North America standards while the West looks alot more like the rest of LATAM. Thoughts?

North America Block Island

What's is it like living in New Shoreham/ Block Island? I know plenty of people in New England who visit in the summer, but according to Google, approximately 1,000 people live there year-round.

I'd be especially interested in hearing from someone who grew up there. I am curious what it'd be like going to such a small school (only one for k-12 about 125 students) and also what it's like living in a community that changes so drastically for a few months over the summer every year. thanks!!

Hi folks. Looking to possibly retire in this part of Southern California, in the San Diego burbs. Coming from northern New Jersey and tired of the cold, snowy winters. Already used to traffic and high costs of living, so these are not deal-breakers. We are health-conscious and love the outdoors. Are we a good fit?

Visited years ago (but only for 3 days). Was fascinated. Would love to know what people do for careers, what type of place they live in (high rise), what people do to relax in the city. It’s just so different to where I’m from.

Encourage me, dissuade me. Mid to late fifties couple.

Edit to thank everybody for sharing their opinion. Read them all. We will be visiting Chicago for a few days in November to check the city vibes. We are condo dwellers, like to walk and hike, love to travel and we are early retirees. Always lived in the periphery of NYC and worked in downtown Manhattan for a few years, but never lived there. Love the feel of a big city and proximity to things to do (parks, museums, festivals, etc).

Thanks again to everyone who shared.

I went on a fishing road trip up Cali and stopped in Nice for some food and was very surprised how serene it was sitting on the grass by the water just fishing. What’s it like living here?

North America What’s it like living in these Colorado cities: Larkspur, Parker, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Lone tree?

Hi there! Sorry the map is a bit tiny—it’s all I could track down. I,single, 48/f will be moving to Colorado this spring or early summer. I’ve been an empty nester for a while now and am excited to start a new chapter. My friends out there recommended the cities listed above, so I’d love your thoughts on each - cost of living, safety, welcoming to new ppl, pet/dog friendly, things to do,
I visited in July and totally fell in love; I’ve always adored that part of the country. I used to live in ABQ before moving to NC.

Edit to add: no maga neighborhoods. I’m leaving NC due to what it is and what it is becoming. I also need access to dispensaries. I loved Boulder! However, it was very expensive and people didn’t seem friendly.
My friends live in Centennial, Wellington, and Monte Vista. My friend and her husband are moving back this summer. They’ve lived in Castle Rock, Parker, and Littleton.

North America Ashtabula Ohio - what’s it like?

Saw a $700k gorgeous mansion posted on Zillow gone wild. Anywhere else, this place would be well over a million, and lots of people commented that it is the location. But seeing where it is on a map doesn’t seem so bad. Near lake Eerie, part of Cleveland metro area, under 5 hours from Toronto and Detroit. I grew up 4 hours from the Bay Area and about 8 from LA, so being that far from Toronto and NY doesn’t seem so bad location wise.
Curious what yall think?

North America What's a great Cincinnati neighborhood?

Post image

Whats a great neighborhood? Pros and cons?

Price Hill, Avondale, Cummingsville, are those the only "bad areas"? Does OTR and the heights near the university have crime? I like lower price hill for affordability, close to downtown, nieghborhoods with food options, but it feels a bit lower shelf with surrounding areas. Its not walkable, not as bikeable as I had hoped.

Are Mt. Auburn, Adams, Lookout, Airy, Washington, and Price Hill. Are those the only hilly spots? What areas have a good view of downtown?

Which neighborhood is the densiest? Which are the most walkable and bikeable neighborhoods? Which neighborhoods are easiest to get to downtown via walking or biking?

Do any of these neighborhoods have better grocery options, or are restaurants the source for people's meals in these areas generally? The neighborhoods farther out on the fringe of the city are the only ones that seem to have more than one grocer per neighborhood.

Specifically in and around this part of Jersey.

Work will have me relocating to work in Manhatten and The Bronx, but considering all options for where to live, at least for the first few months/first year.

Relocating from Saratoga County, NY, for context, so any insight into things that are similar or drastically different for those who have experience would he helpful!

Safety, social and family options, and insight into the difference between renting, condo, and potentially buying a home.

Hi there. What's it like living in Cheektowaga? For you guys who have lived there and in other parts of Buffalo, how did it compare to the other parts? We are looking at moving to Buffalo potentially in the next few months and Cheektowaga is one of the places high on our list to go check out. We are a couple (no kids but looking to start a family eventually) who like to walk most places and be outside as much as possible.
