Hey, Average temperature is around 66--F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $3,016/month for a decent place. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Am I overthinking this? Thanks in advance! The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

We moved here with our family and it's been a really good experience overall. Schools in Fairview area are pretty good. Kids love it here.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from Raleigh about 6 years ago. The main reasons were school and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are competitive, gas is underrated.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
