OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Fairview. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in finance you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Thai.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
