Median household income is $67,708, which feels about average for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
