Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from Seattle about 6 years ago. The main reasons were school and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Strong job market in several industries
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are competitive, gas is tough.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from Miami about 5 years ago. The main reasons were work and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Close to major attractions
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are manageable, gas is underrated.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
