OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 10 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Cedar Grove. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in finance. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Active local events and festivals
- The housing market scene is solid
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Rising rent and home prices
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is underrated in most areas.
