Military spouse here. It's a a mid-size city city with about 116K people. You can expect to pay around $1,691 for rent here. Rent is about $1,691/month for a decent place. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Easy commute
- Good healthcare facilities
- Active local events
Cons:
- Limited dining options
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Mosquitoes and humidity
