Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value healthcare, you'll love it. The walkability is genuinely solid and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Greenfield) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from San Francisco, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Nightlife is limited.
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.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Greenfield. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in legal. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
