Great job opportunities, terrible traffic, high co

My husband and I moved here after graduate school when we found jobs here. The economy here is very good, and there seem to be many job opportunities. However, the cost of real estate is very high. Housing prices have double or tripled in the last five years. We're from the midwest, where we could buy a mansion for the price of a small bungalow here. Also, things here just seem older and less well-cared for than what we're used to. There are great cultural attractions like the Smithsonian museums, but things like upscale shopping malls or interesting neighborhoods just seem a little shabby around the edges all through the region.
