Curious what people think. The unemployment rate is 5.5%, which is about average. Average temperature is around 46--F, so expect cold winters. Homes are going for about $117,400 on average. The median home value here is around $117,400, which is actually reasonable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up.

- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Lack of diversity
