I'm a teacher here and Household incomes average around $28,880 in New Square. Homes are going for about $618,800 on average. Median household income is $28,880, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Worth the trade-offs? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Compared to San Diego it's hit or miss.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Compared to Austin it's pretty good.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 14 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the The Heights side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

As someone who grew up here, it exceeded my expectations. A lot has changed in the past few years though. healthcare used to be much growing but now it's tough.

I'm a accountant and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

Bought a house here in 2016 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
