I live in upper QA now. It’s nice. Schools are decent and there’s a nice community. Everything is walkable and the urban core including SLU is close by. It’s like living in Newton except Newton is in Back Bay. The views are killer too. The waterfront and sculpture park is also walking distance.

Used to live in SLU while I was house hunting. I like SLU though, lots of rooftop bars. A little soulless but for a modern development, it’s not bad. I like it better than Seaport, Kendall and the developments in DC. It was way cheaper to rent in SLU than those places too. There’s a lot more biotech and lab diversification going on in SLU now, which is good for the neighborhood to grow out of Amazon.

Boston isn’t bad but for the things I enjoy and do, Seattle has all of them plus better hiking and outdoors. I don’t worry about Lyme with the kids and there’s just a lot more stuff to do outside with the kids than sitting on a beach or going skiing. To each their own.
