Homes are going for about $409,100 on average. Average temperature is around 62°F, so the weather is moderate. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up.
