Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 1 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into golfing, 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.
Definitely worth checking out..

The food scene here is improving. Tons of great BBQ places. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'm a data analyst and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value school system, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely hit or miss and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. My neighborhood (East) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Tampa, be prepared for the culture shock. outdoor recreation is completely different here. And Nightlife is limited.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's been a really good experience overall. Internet is average in most areas.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a writer who relocated here from Miami about 2 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Decent public transit for the size
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Dating scene is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are developing, gas is tough.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Feel free to reach out with questions..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are solid, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
