Random thought, I've been here for 7 years and Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $831,000, which is pretty steep. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. What neighborhoods would you suggest? The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value housing market, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely hit or miss and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Highland) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Miami, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Road conditions need improvement.
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.

As someone who grew up here, it exceeded my expectations. A lot has changed in the past few years though. pet-friendliness used to be much growing but now it's decent.
