Hey everyone, We have two kids and Homes are going for about $367,700 on average. Average temperature is around 61--F, so the weather is moderate. The weather takes some getting used to. Has anyone dealt with this? The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want dating scene, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. it exceeded my expectations. Compared to Phoenix it's pretty good.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Worth doing your research before committing.

Bought a house here in 2020 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from San Francisco about 11 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good healthcare facilities
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are reasonable, gas is challenging.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Definitely worth checking out..
