Just moved to Des Moines, any tips?

I'm a 51-year-old mechanic and Homes are going for about $539,800 on average. You can expect to pay around $1,727 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 4.7%, which is about average. Poverty rate is 6.2%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Thoughts? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.
