Alright, Been living here since 2010. You can expect to pay around $759 for rent here. It's a a small town city with about 12,671 people. Rent is about $759/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $81,500 on average. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Has anyone dealt with this? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Eastside. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in retail. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
No regrets on my end..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Austin about 1 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are competitive, gas is average.
Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Happy to answer more specific questions..
