Anyone else feel this way? Been living here since 2019. It's a a smaller city city with about 80,617 people. Homes are going for about $365,200 on average. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What would you do? The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

As someone who grew up here, it's not perfect but it works for me. A lot has changed in the past few years though. food scene used to be much reasonable but now it's tough.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value school system, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely average and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. My neighborhood (Fairview) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. community vibe is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.
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.

Came here for a fresh start and stayed because it's not perfect but it works for me. The walkability is honestly average and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

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

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I have mixed feelings honestly. Compared to New York it's better than expected.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.
