Anyone else feel this way? Been living here since 2023. Median household income is $119,167, which feels pretty solid for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Would love some local perspective. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a nurse who relocated here from LA about 15 years ago. The main reasons were weather and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are affordable, gas is decent.
Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
