OK so You can expect to pay around $1,852 for rent here. Rent is about $1,852/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $812,700 on average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. What do you all think? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Came here for work and stayed because it was the best decision I ever made. The housing market is honestly challenging and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 5 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into running, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the East side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Hot take but it was the best decision I ever made. I know a lot of people disagree but after 6 years here, that's my honest assessment.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I'd watch out for is nightlife. Other than that, Hope this helps!.

Bought a house here in 2021 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
