Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm single, late 20s, and Rent is about $1,695/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 33,595 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in South. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in marketing. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in South. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in engineering. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Came here for my partner's job and stayed because it was the best decision I ever made. The walkability is honestly hit or miss and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are manageable. You get used to it after the first year.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are decent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Hope this helps!.
