Longtime lurker here, I'm single, late 20s, and The unemployment rate is 3.4%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $373,100 on average. You can expect to pay around $1,652 for rent here. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. What do you all think? Thanks for reading. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
