Hey everyone, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Median household income is $105,776, which feels pretty solid for the area. The unemployment rate is 0.9%, which is pretty low. It's a a small town city with about 5,751 people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Worth the trade-offs? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

I've lived in Downtown for about 11 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 Baltimore, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- The walkability scene is tough
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2020 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to Miami it's pretty good.
