Anyone work in healthcare in Huntsville?

First post here. We're a young couple and With a population of 219K, Huntsville is a mid-size city. Homes are going for about $263,100 on average. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development. Would love some local perspective.

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've lived in Midtown for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events and festivals
- The community vibe scene is decent

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
