So, Born and raised here. The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $231,000 on average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Tampa about 7 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Lots of new development happening
- Good airport with direct flights
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are competitive, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
