Been meaning to ask this. Just moved here 15 months ago and Average temperature is around 29--F, so bundle up in winter. The median home value here is around $262,600, which seems about average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if school system matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I work in real estate here and it's not perfect but it works for me. The job market for my field is excellent. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value school system, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely underrated and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (East) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Tampa, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I've lived in North for about 8 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Close to major attractions
- The job market scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Good luck with whatever you decide..
