Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a social worker who relocated here from San Francisco about 15 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Can feel isolated
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are growing, gas is average.

Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
