Hey, Homes are going for about $626,000 on average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Thanks for reading. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in education. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've lived in Midtown for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Raleigh, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good healthcare facilities
- The housing market scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Hot take but it's improved dramatically in recent years. I know a lot of people disagree but after 6 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Bought a house here in 2017 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
