Alright, It's a a smaller city city with about 59,751 people. Rent is about $2,269/month for a decent place. Median household income is $110,563, which feels pretty solid for the area. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Worth the trade-offs? The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to.
