Hey everyone, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $125,567, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $371,400, which seems about average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Anyone in a similar situation? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 4 years here, that's my honest assessment.

We moved here with our family and it's not perfect but it works for me. Schools in Westside area are pretty good. Kids love it here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 3 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

As someone who grew up here, it's exactly what I was looking for. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cost of living used to be much pricey but now it's improving.

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.
