Moving to Lafayette for work — advice?

Hello, Just moved here 8 months ago and The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,065/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 71°F, so it's warm year-round. The median home value here is around $251,300, which seems about average. You can expect to pay around $1,065 for rent here. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up. Would love some local perspective. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up.
