Alright, Am I wrong here? Thanks in advance! It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. it was the best decision I ever made. Compared to San Francisco it's hit or miss.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's exactly what I was looking for. Internet is improving in most areas.

We moved here with our family and it's not perfect but it works for me. Schools in Downtown area are tough. Kids love it here.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Pine Hills. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 9 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

My experience has been mostly positive. I genuinely enjoy living here. The only thing I'd watch out for is dating scene. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Bought a house here in 2015 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone about the same since then.
