OK so I'm a college student here and Average temperature is around 70--F, so it's warm year-round. Median household income is $75,245, which feels about average for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,350 for rent here. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Am I wrong here? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Austin about 10 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Four distinct seasons
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are pricey, gas is decent.
Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Came here for my partner's job and stayed because I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The walkability is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's not perfect but it works for me. Internet is excellent in most areas.
