Hey folks, I'm originally from Indianapolis and Homes are going for about $159,700 on average. The unemployment rate is 2.3%, which is pretty low. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. What would you do? Thanks for reading. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value pet-friendliness, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely average and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. My neighborhood (Pine Hills) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Boston, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I work in retail here and it's exactly what I was looking for. The job market for my field is better than expected. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it was the best decision I ever made. Compared to LA it's pretty good.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 3 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is hit or miss.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
