I work in media and The median home value here is around $1,005,400, which is pretty steep. The unemployment rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. What neighborhoods would you suggest? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I've lived in Old Town for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The traffic scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it was the best decision I ever made. Compared to Tampa it's underrated.

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is food scene. Other than that, No regrets on my end..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's improved dramatically in recent years. No regrets on my end..
