I work in engineering and The unemployment rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Anyone in a similar situation?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 10 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Four distinct seasons
- Affordable housing options
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are wild, gas is decent.
Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
