Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Definitely worth checking out..

We moved here with our family and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Schools in West area are improving. Kids love it here.

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 4 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've been living here for 3 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The traffic is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Miami about 7 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Four distinct seasons
- Affordable housing options
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are pricey, gas is average.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
