OK so I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The median home value here is around $182,500, which is actually reasonable. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. The weather takes some getting used to. Has anyone dealt with this? Thanks in advance! Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I've lived in Old Town for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Decent public transit for the size
- The housing market scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
