I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is pet-friendliness. I love the pace of life here. Worth doing your research before committing.

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is decent in most areas.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a contractor who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 14 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are wild, gas is decent.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Hope this helps!.

Bought a house here in 2021 and the quality of life is solid. Property values have gone about the same since then.
