OK so I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Rent is about $1,769/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 27,489 people. Homes are going for about $640,600 on average. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Thanks in advance! Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
