Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Raleigh about 7 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Decent public transit for the size
- Lots of new development happening
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are developing, gas is better than expected.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. No regrets on my end..
