Working in Bowling Green -salaries realistic?

Been meaning to ask this. Homes are going for about $232,100 on average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Does this match your experience? Thanks in advance! I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
