OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Downtown. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in finance. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like seafood.
No regrets on my end..

Came here for cost of living and stayed because it's improved dramatically in recent years. The job market is honestly challenging and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Pine Hills. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in consulting. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in Greenfield for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good healthcare facilities
- The traffic scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
