Hi all, Been living here since 2010. The median home value here is around $112,300, which is actually reasonable. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $33,628, which feels on the lower side for the area. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Would love some local perspective. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
