There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I've lived in Midtown for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- The walkability scene is improving
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. Hope this helps!.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Dallas about 13 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good healthcare facilities
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are competitive, gas is improving.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
