First post here. Rent is about $992/month for a decent place. Median household income is $69,630, which feels about average for the area. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from Austin about 1 years ago. The main reasons were weather and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Affordable housing options
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Road conditions need improvement
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are pricey, gas is better than expected.
Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
