Average temperature is around 66--F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $217,400 on average. The unemployment rate is 4.4%, which is about average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Has anyone dealt with this? TIA! Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
