What to expect moving to Albany?

Hey everyone, Rent is about $898/month for a decent place. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Am I overthinking this? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
