OK so Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $1,081 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Has anyone dealt with this? Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Pine Hills. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in tech. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Indian.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from LA about 9 years ago. The main reasons were work and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good internet infrastructure
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are developing, gas is solid.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Good luck with whatever you decide..
