Been meaning to ask this. Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. You can expect to pay around $1,696 for rent here. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Worth the trade-offs? The city has invested a lot in new development. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. public transit used to be much established but now it's solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in government. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is pet-friendliness. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.
