Not sure if this has been asked before, but You can expect to pay around $996 for rent here. Median household income is $67,514, which feels about average for the area. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Am I wrong here?

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

My experience has been mostly positive. I genuinely enjoy living here. The only thing I'd watch out for is cost of living. Other than that, Definitely worth checking out..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from New York about 10 years ago. The main reasons were weather and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of new development happening
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are established, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Midtown. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in finance. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Southern.
All Countries
