Hello, We're a young couple and The unemployment rate is 2.1%, which is pretty low. It's a a small town city with about 1,338 people. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a teacher who relocated here from New York about 2 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are manageable, gas is improving.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Hope this helps!.
