Hello, I'm retired and Homes are going for about $368,800 on average. Average temperature is around 55--F, so the weather is moderate. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in East. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in engineering. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Denver and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Old Town. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in tech. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like sushi.
