Hey folks, The unemployment rate is 5.4%, which is about average. You can expect to pay around $1,194 for rent here. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. Does this match your experience? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The outdoor recreation is genuinely underrated and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Fairview) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Atlanta, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness 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.
