I'm a contractor and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. The community is improving and there's always something going on.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value pet-friendliness, you'll love it. The housing market is genuinely pretty good and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Uptown) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Charlotte, be prepared for the culture shock. traffic is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I'm a project manager and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is improving and there's always something going on.
