Hey, The median home value here is around $191,400, which is actually reasonable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Worth the trade-offs? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I'm a pharmacist and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. The community is underrated and there's always something going on.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 3 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the healthcare is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.
