Hey folks, It's a a smaller city city with about 57,590 people. Rent is about $1,315/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Worth the trade-offs? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say I genuinely enjoy living here. The healthcare is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Hope this helps!.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want school system, then yeah this place is great. But if healthcare matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The outdoor recreation is genuinely tough and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (The Heights) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Pittsburgh, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Summers can be brutally hot.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
