Bought a house here in 2016 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

Moved here from Salt Lake City about 2 years ago. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Still getting used to outdoor recreation but Hope this helps!.

I'm a electrician and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. The community is solid and there's always something going on.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a teacher who relocated here from Austin about 10 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Decent public transit for the size
- Active local events and festivals
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are growing, gas is hit or miss.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are excellent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
