Weather-wise, the summers are surprisingly good and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.

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

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Eastside. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in engineering. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
