Considering Minnetonka vs Omaha -help me decide
Random thought, With a population of 53,256, Minnetonka is a smaller city. What do you all think?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Greenfield. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in finance. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a data analyst who relocated here from Seattle about 14 years ago. The main reasons were family and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good airport with direct flights
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are developing, gas is challenging.
Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Happy to answer more specific questions..

The food scene here is pretty good. Tons of great Vietnamese places. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.
