Longtime lurker here, Just moved here 10 months ago and Homes are going for about $891,300 on average. The unemployment rate is 0.6%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What do you all think? The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Houston about 6 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are developing, gas is solid.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. job market used to be much growing but now it's surprisingly good.
