Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem hit or miss.

I've been here 13 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is hit or miss.

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

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

Bought a house here in 2018 and it's exactly what I was looking for. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
