Random thought, Born and raised here. Rent is about $828/month for a decent place. With a population of 36,819, Muskogee is a smaller city. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value pet-friendliness, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely solid and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Westside) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Pittsburgh, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Nightlife is limited.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
