I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The cultural scene is average compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Pittsburgh and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in The Heights. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in engineering. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally improving. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Good luck with whatever you decide..

Hot take but the quality of life is solid. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Boston about 5 years ago. The main reasons were school and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Four distinct seasons

Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Road conditions need improvement

Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are competitive, gas is average.

Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Happy to answer more specific questions..
