Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a writer who relocated here from Baltimore about 9 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Active local events and festivals
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are wild, gas is excellent.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
