Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value weather, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely underrated and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. My neighborhood (Fairview) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Tampa, be prepared for the culture shock. housing market is completely different here. And Chain restaurants dominate.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. it was the best decision I ever made. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The public transit is solid compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Miami 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 North. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in real estate. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a nurse who relocated here from Tampa about 15 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Lots of new development happening
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are affordable, gas is improving.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Definitely worth checking out..
