Hey everyone, Rent is about $1,626/month for a decent place. Property taxes are high but you get good services. What would you do?

Came here for family and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The nightlife is honestly underrated and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 4 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Fairview side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is community vibe. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a writer who relocated here from Minneapolis about 7 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Limited shopping options
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are wild, gas is average.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Definitely worth checking out..
