The main attraction of living downtown is there's lots of life with the people around: plentiful meetups for whatever you like, more neighbors for friends, more people to socialize. There's a large, living, breathing, constantly-changing ecosystem that's self-rearranging of bars for all tastes (including non-alcoholic); chain stores and indie ones; parks for to frolic; restaurants and food trucks of all shapes and flavors; entertainment venues; parades to savor; sports games, stand-up, concerts and shows; city festivals, conventions, expos; all that and more within walkable distance.
If your work is nearby, that's just chef's kiss, then.
