Hey folks, I'm a 49-year-old teacher and The median home value here is around $52,100, which is actually reasonable. Median household income is $28,917, which feels on the lower side for the area. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 8 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Westside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 12 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are wild, gas is solid.
Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I genuinely enjoy living here. Feel free to reach out with questions..
