Been meaning to ask this. My family moved here when I was a kid. The unemployment rate is 5.2%, which is about average. Average temperature is around 55--F, so the weather is moderate. You can expect to pay around $1,798 for rent here. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Would love some local perspective. Property taxes are high but you get good services.
