Moved here from Chicago about 4 years ago. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Still getting used to public transit but It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Came here for quality of life and stayed because it's been a really good experience overall. The safety is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in Greenfield area are improving. Kids love it here.

I've been living here for 3 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The outdoor recreation is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.

Bought a house here in 2024 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

I work in tech here and I have mixed feelings honestly. The job market for my field is surprisingly good. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.

I've been here 15 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the school system is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is improving.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town 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..
