Rent is about $1,106/month for a decent place. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
