Just moved here 9 months ago and The median home value here is around $982,600, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 47--F, so expect cold winters. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want pet-friendliness, then yeah this place is great. But if public transit matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Phoenix about 14 years ago. The main reasons were weather and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are developing, gas is tough.
Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
