Median household income is $83,969, which feels pretty solid for the area. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:

- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Low taxes
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Lack of diversity
