Been meaning to ask this. I'm a college student here and Homes are going for about $267,600 on average. The median home value here is around $267,600, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 2.6%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. It's a a small town city with about 5,970 people. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Friendly people
- Low crime in most areas
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
