Hey everyone, Just moved here 16 months ago and You can expect to pay around $1,694 for rent here. Average temperature is around 57--F, so the weather is moderate. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 12 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Decent public transit for the size
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Dating scene is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are stable, gas is excellent.
Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Weather-wise, the summers are tough and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.

Came here for retirement and stayed because it exceeded my expectations. The job market is honestly improving and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
