Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Raleigh about 1 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and a fresh start.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Chain restaurants dominate

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are developing, gas is average.

Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
