If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's exactly what I was looking for. Internet is improving in most areas.

I work in healthcare here and it's been a really good experience overall. The job market for my field is average. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a teacher who relocated here from Raleigh about 6 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
- Active local events and festivals

Cons that are real:
- Limited shopping options
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are manageable, gas is hit or miss.

Socially, the quality of life is solid. Feel free to reach out with questions..
