OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Meadowbrook. It's solid for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in retail. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.

People: Generally average. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Italian.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

We moved here with our family and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Schools in Sunset area are challenging. Kids love it here.
