Been meaning to ask this. I'm a college student here and The median home value here is around $263,800, which seems about average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a sales manager who relocated here from San Francisco about 7 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Road conditions need improvement
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are reasonable, gas is tough.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Happy to answer more specific questions..

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

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Pittsburgh and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Fairview. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in retail. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The cultural scene is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..
