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

I've been living here for 6 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The housing market is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..

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

Weather-wise, the summers are hit or miss and winters are competitive. You get used to it after the first year.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Old Town. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in real estate. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
