My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is healthcare. Other than that, No regrets on my end..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from LA about 4 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are stable, gas is excellent.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I genuinely enjoy living here. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 9 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Decent public transit for the size
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Winters are long and cold
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are growing, gas is improving.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. No regrets on my end..

We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in Old Town area are average. Kids love it here.
