Longtime lurker here, You can expect to pay around $3,501 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 3.4%, which is pretty low. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Thoughts? The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from Dallas about 10 years ago. The main reasons were work and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good internet infrastructure
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are developing, gas is solid.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
