Hi all, You can expect to pay around $1,565 for rent here. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from Phoenix about 12 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good airport with direct flights
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are developing, gas is challenging.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Definitely worth checking out..
