First post here. My family moved here when I was a kid. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $82,359, which feels pretty solid for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Thoughts? The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in The Heights. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in retail. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Asian.
No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Downtown. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in construction. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Asian.
