Poverty rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,759 for rent here. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. Thoughts? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
