Rent is about $2,404/month for a decent place. Worth the trade-offs? Any help is appreciated. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Internet is underrated in most areas.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are hit or miss, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I work in engineering here and it was the best decision I ever made. The job market for my field is surprisingly good. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a contractor who relocated here from Miami about 11 years ago. The main reasons were school and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
Cons that are real:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are pricey, gas is challenging.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. No regrets on my end..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is weather. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Feel free to reach out with questions..
