Not sure if this has been asked before, but You can expect to pay around $846 for rent here. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. Crime rate is something to consider -Hiawatha sits at 376.3 per 100K. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Anyone in a similar situation? Thanks for reading. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Bought a house here in 2015 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
