I'm a 35-year-old nurse and You can expect to pay around $1,315 for rent here. The median home value here is around $354,600, which seems about average. It's a a small town city with about 3,506 people. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The school system scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
