Alright, Been living here since 2022. Homes are going for about $371,600 on average. Poverty rate is 5.2%, which is pretty low. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Thoughts? Cheers. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a contractor who relocated here from Portland about 8 years ago. The main reasons were family and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Urban sprawl is real
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are wild, gas is underrated.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Hope this helps!.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it exceeded my expectations. Definitely worth checking out..
