OK so The median home value here is around $453,100, which is pretty steep. Does this match your experience?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Tampa about 2 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Affordable housing options
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- 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 established, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it was the best decision I ever made.
