Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Houston about 5 years ago. The main reasons were school and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Close to major attractions
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are competitive, gas is pretty good.
Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Definitely worth checking out..
