First post here. I'm retired and Poverty rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Any advice would be great. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I've been living here for 3 years and I'd say it's been a really good experience overall. The traffic is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from Denver about 12 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport with direct flights
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are growing, gas is improving.
Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Hope this helps!.
