Not sure if this has been asked before, but Rent is about $1,946/month for a decent place. It's a a small town city with about 24,065 people. Poverty rate is 12.1%, which is around average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
Pros:

- Walkable downtown
- Active local events
