You can expect to pay around $2,845 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 4.6%, which is about average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Diverse community
- Low taxes
- Strong sense of community
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Boring for young people
