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

I've been here 14 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is improving.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Cedar Grove side vs the Old Town side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Meadowbrook. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in engineering. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally improving. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.

No regrets on my end..
