Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. Homes are going for about $202,400 on average. It's a a smaller city city with about 32,031 people. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Internet is solid in most areas.

Came here for work and stayed because it's not perfect but it works for me. The community vibe is honestly excellent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
