Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a nurse who relocated here from Portland about 1 years ago. The main reasons were family and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of new development happening

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are pricey, gas is decent.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
