Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Raleigh about 13 years ago. The main reasons were work and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of family-friendly activities

Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Property taxes are high

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are established, gas is underrated.

Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Hope this helps!.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is traffic. it was the best decision I ever made. Worth doing your research before committing.

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