It's a a smaller city city with about 32,864 people. The unemployment rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $249,000, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $1,562 for rent here. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

- Homelessness issues downtown
