Median household income is $50,855, which feels on the lower side for the area. Homes are going for about $133,000 on average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
Pros:

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited dining options
- Far from major airports
