OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in East. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in consulting. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Indian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The dating scene is solid compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Old Town. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in legal. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

The food scene here is decent. Tons of great sushi places. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Boston about 2 years ago. The main reasons were weather and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Four distinct seasons
- Close to major attractions
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are stable, gas is decent.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
