Not sure if this has been asked before, but Been living here since 2011. Average temperature is around 68--F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $186,600 on average. It's a a smaller city city with about 71,118 people. The median home value here is around $186,600, which is actually reasonable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited nightlife
- High property taxes
- Chain restaurants dominate
