Random thought, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $1,177 for rent here. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I work in consulting here and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The job market for my field is pretty good. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Happy to answer more specific questions..

I'm a nurse and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is improving and there's always something going on.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a social worker who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 10 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Can feel isolated
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are competitive, gas is better than expected.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Happy to answer more specific questions..
