Anyone else feel this way? You can expect to pay around $1,675 for rent here. Homes are going for about $262,100 on average. Median household income is $92,565, which feels pretty solid for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Anyone in a similar situation? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Houston about 2 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and family.

Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Lots of new development happening
- Lots of family-friendly activities

Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are affordable, gas is solid.

Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
