I work in tech here and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The job market for my field is challenging. Definitely worth checking out..

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.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.

I've been here 2 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is tough.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Good luck with whatever you decide..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Fairview. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in education you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Thai.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
