Hey everyone, I've been here for 15 years and Average temperature is around 58°F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $109,195, which feels pretty solid for the area. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Has anyone dealt with this? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Came here for a fresh start and stayed because I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The public transit is honestly hit or miss and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Came here for cost of living and stayed because it was the best decision I ever made. The traffic is honestly improving and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in Old Town area are better than expected. Kids love it here.

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 7 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the East side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
