Hey everyone, You can expect to pay around $1,108 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 0.2%, which is pretty low. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Am I overthinking this? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Raleigh about 10 years ago. The main reasons were family and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are growing, gas is average.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
