Been meaning to ask this. Just moved here 12 months ago and You can expect to pay around $1,194 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Should I be concerned? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Seattle about 9 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Active local events and festivals
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited public transit options
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are reasonable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. No regrets on my end..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Hope this helps!.

As someone who grew up here, it exceeded my expectations. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much developing but now it's hit or miss.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want cultural scene, then yeah this place is great. But if housing market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in Fairview area are tough. Kids love it here.

My experience has been mostly positive. I have mixed feelings honestly. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I work in hospitality here and I love the pace of life here. The job market for my field is average. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
