I'm a remote worker and You can expect to pay around $1,501 for rent here. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Austin about 4 years ago. The main reasons were family and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. No regrets on my end..
