Hello, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The median home value here is around $144,000, which is actually reasonable. Homes are going for about $144,000 on average. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Let me know your thoughts. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Eastside. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in engineering. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Thai.
Hope this helps!.

Hot take but it was the best decision I ever made. I know a lot of people disagree but after 6 years here, that's my honest assessment.
