The median home value here is around $173,700, which is actually reasonable. Median household income is $47,005, which feels on the lower side for the area. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
