Been meaning to ask this. Average temperature is around 57--F, so the weather is moderate. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from Houston about 7 years ago. The main reasons were weather and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are growing, gas is better than expected.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Happy to answer more specific questions..
