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

I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Portland about 8 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and a fresh start.

Pros I've experienced:
- Lots of new development happening
- Diverse dining options
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are manageable, gas is better than expected.

Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
