Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 4 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is dating scene. Other than that, Hope this helps!.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is pretty good in most areas.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Dallas about 11 years ago. The main reasons were school and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Lots of new development happening
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are manageable, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Happy to answer more specific questions..
