First post here. Rent is about $1,691/month for a decent place. Median household income is $77,068, which feels about average for the area. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Worth the trade-offs?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Highland. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in construction. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

As someone who grew up here, I'm still on the fence after all this time. A lot has changed in the past few years though. school system used to be much reasonable but now it's pretty good.
