As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much stable but now it's better than expected.

I've lived in Old Town for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- The weather scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..
