Been meaning to ask this. Born and raised here. Homes are going for about $159,700 on average. Median household income is $51,154, which feels on the lower side for the area. The median home value here is around $159,700, which is actually reasonable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development.
