You can expect to pay around $863 for rent here. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate
