OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Meadowbrook. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in education. If you're in consulting you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
