Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a writer who relocated here from Baltimore about 4 years ago. The main reasons were school and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Active local events and festivals
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are stable, gas is average.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
