We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in West area are challenging. Kids love it here.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Atlanta about 5 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are developing, gas is hit or miss.
Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a social worker who relocated here from Dallas about 13 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Close to major attractions
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Bugs and humidity in summer
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are developing, gas is pretty good.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say I'm still on the fence after all this time. The safety is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The dating scene is average compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..
