So, Average temperature is around 59°F, so the weather is moderate. Anyone in a similar situation?

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value public transit, you'll love it. The weather is genuinely decent and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (The Heights) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. food scene is completely different here. And Dating scene is rough.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Old Town. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in real estate. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to Charlotte it's decent.
