What surprised you most about Florence?
Random thought, Rent is about $1,199/month for a decent place.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Denver about 7 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Winters are long and cold
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are established, gas is improving.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Good luck with whatever you decide..
