OK so You can expect to pay around $774 for rent here. Anyone in a similar situation? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Uptown. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is outdoor recreation. it's been a really good experience overall. Worth doing your research before committing.

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

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: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Pine Hills. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in legal. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Indian.
