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

I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from Seattle about 14 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Decent public transit for the size
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are stable, gas is improving.

Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
