First post here. I'm single, late 50s, and Rent is about $1,509/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 4.3%, which is about average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 5 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the East side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

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

I've been here 10 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is surprisingly good.
