Hello, We have two kids and Rent is about $1,780/month for a decent place. You can expect to pay around $1,780 for rent here. Homes are going for about $288,600 on average. The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Has anyone dealt with this? Appreciate any input. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 12 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Weather-wise, the summers are challenging and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.

Public transit is decent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

I've been living here for 10 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The housing market is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, it's exactly what I was looking for. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cultural scene used to be much wild but now it's pretty good.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want walkability, then yeah this place is great. But if weather matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
