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

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Boston about 13 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Active local events and festivals
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are reasonable, gas is underrated.

Socially, the quality of life is solid. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
