Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Chicago about 15 years ago. The main reasons were work and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Decent public transit for the size
- Active local events and festivals
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are manageable, gas is solid.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Happy to answer more specific questions..
