Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Charlotte about 8 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- Lots of new development happening

Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Nightlife is limited

Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are manageable, gas is surprisingly good.

Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Old Town. It's hit or miss for what you get.

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

People: Generally better than expected. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.

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

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
