Been meaning to ask this. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. Thoughts?

My experience has been mostly positive. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The only thing I'd watch out for is outdoor recreation. Other than that, Good luck with whatever you decide..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Minneapolis about 13 years ago. The main reasons were family and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are competitive, gas is decent.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Definitely worth checking out..
