My family moved here when I was a kid. Poverty rate is 4.8%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. Would love some local perspective. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to.

I've lived in Old Town for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Active local events and festivals
- The cultural scene scene is solid
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
