Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $1,035/month for a decent place. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
