So, We're a young couple and Household incomes average around $61,224 in Inverness Highlands South. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I overthinking this? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Sunset. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.
Hope this helps!.

Bought a house here in 2015 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone about the same since then.

We moved here with our family and it's not perfect but it works for me. Schools in Cedar Grove area are surprisingly good. Kids love it here.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Austin about 8 years ago. The main reasons were family and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Feel free to reach out with questions..
