The median home value here is around $620,400, which is pretty steep. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Nice parks and trails
- Close to nature
- Plenty of shopping options
- Active local events
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Limited cultural events
