Hey, I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 1.8%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,783/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $708,800, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $1,783 for rent here. Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Lots of new development

Cons:
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
- Homelessness issues downtown

It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
