First post here. Rent is about $2,333/month for a decent place. Median household income is $172,484, which feels pretty solid for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Should I be concerned? The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

We moved here with our family and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Schools in Highland area are underrated. Kids love it here.

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Bought a house here in 2024 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
