First post here. I work in retail and Rent is about $1,090/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. TIA! There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

As someone who grew up here, the quality of life is solid. A lot has changed in the past few years though. pet-friendliness used to be much pricey but now it's underrated.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value safety, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely average and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Riverside) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I have mixed feelings honestly. Compared to San Diego it's hit or miss.

I work in manufacturing here and the quality of life is solid. The job market for my field is hit or miss. No regrets on my end..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I love the pace of life here. Happy to answer more specific questions..
