Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.

I've been here 14 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is hit or miss.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the Downtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Hope this helps!.

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

I'm a accountant who relocated here from Minneapolis about 14 years ago. The main reasons were work and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries

Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Nightlife is limited

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are competitive, gas is pretty good.

Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Definitely worth checking out..

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are manageable. You get used to it after the first year.

We moved here with our family and it's not perfect but it works for me. Schools in Fairview area are average. Kids love it here.
