First post here. Born and raised here. The median home value here is around $175,100, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $1,109 for rent here. Average temperature is around 73--F, so it's warm year-round. Homes are going for about $175,100 on average. The unemployment rate is 3.8%, which is pretty low. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Should I be concerned? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development.
