OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Raleigh and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Pine Hills. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in education. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 15 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like sushi.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Minneapolis about 15 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Strong job market in several industries
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Homeless population growing downtown
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are stable, gas is solid.
Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Good luck with whatever you decide..
