Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a teacher here and Homes are going for about $113,100 on average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from San Francisco about 11 years ago. The main reasons were family and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Close to major attractions
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are established, gas is improving.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Definitely worth checking out..

Public transit is hit or miss here. You'll probably need a car for most things. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.
