Longtime lurker here, You can expect to pay around $790 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Should I be concerned? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The safety is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Greenfield. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in finance. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Definitely worth checking out..

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Downtown. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in government. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
