The median home value here is around $369,600, which seems about average. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:

- Sprawl everywhere
- High property taxes
- Chain restaurants dominate
