You can expect to pay around $935 for rent here. It's a a smaller city city with about 90,662 people. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Pros:

- Strong sense of community

Cons:
- Cold winters
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
