Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. the quality of life is solid. Internet is challenging in most areas.

My experience has been mostly positive. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The only thing I'd watch out for is dating scene. Other than that, Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value community vibe, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely pretty good and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Riverside) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Raleigh, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Can feel isolated.
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.
