Longtime lurker here, I'm a teacher here and The median home value here is around $380,100, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 4.4%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,702/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $380,100 on average. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The walkability is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Feel free to reach out with questions..

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because it's been a really good experience overall. The nightlife is honestly improving and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Moved here from Raleigh about 12 years ago. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Still getting used to weather but Definitely worth checking out..
