Hey folks, I'm a college student here and Average temperature is around 48--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $105,576, which feels pretty solid for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Would love some local perspective. Any help is appreciated.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Phoenix about 11 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Affordable housing options
- Good airport with direct flights
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Road conditions need improvement
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are reasonable, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'm a data analyst and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is underrated and there's always something going on.
