Hey everyone, I'm a teacher here and The median home value here is around $424,700, which is pretty steep. Poverty rate is 9.1%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Should I be concerned? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Old Town. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in finance. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
