Alright, My family moved here when I was a kid. The median home value here is around $198,200, which is actually reasonable. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

I'm a chef and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

Came here for school and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The nightlife is honestly challenging and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Raleigh about 9 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Limited shopping options
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are pricey, gas is solid.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
