Curious what people think. You can expect to pay around $1,645 for rent here. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Thanks! It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's been a really good experience overall.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Cedar Grove. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in real estate. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like sushi.
Definitely worth checking out..
