Hi all, I relocated for work and It's a a smaller city city with about 90,646 people. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Looking forward to hearing from you all. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I work in healthcare here and it's been a really good experience overall. The job market for my field is pretty good. Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in South. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
Hope this helps!.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.
I've been here 4 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the Downtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
