The median home value here is around $420,700, which is pretty steep. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Any advice would be great. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
