Anyone else feel this way? I grew up here but left for a while. Median household income is $56,093, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 17.2%, which is higher than I expected. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Hot take but I love the pace of life here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Miami about 1 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good airport with direct flights
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are affordable, gas is hit or miss.
Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The cost of living is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it exceeded my expectations. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
