First post here. The median home value here is around $338,800, which seems about average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 2 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
