Alright, I'm a college student here and It's a a small town city with about 1,403 people. Homes are going for about $485,500 on average. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Am I wrong here? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 1 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are competitive, gas is tough.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is cost of living. Other than that, Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Denver and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Old Town. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in tech. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Thai.
