My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is walkability. Other than that, Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.
I've been here 2 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Eastside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've lived in East for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Decent public transit for the size
- The community vibe scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. No regrets on my end..
