OK so I grew up here but left for a while. Rent is about $2,397/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 45,551 people. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Downtown. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in education. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like seafood.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Came here for retirement and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The school system is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
