So, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Homes are going for about $203,600 on average. Poverty rate is 7.7%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $59,659, which feels about average for the area. You can expect to pay around $998 for rent here. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to.

I'm a lawyer and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is solid and there's always something going on.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I have mixed feelings honestly. Compared to Tampa it's solid.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want school system, then yeah this place is great. But if food scene matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. public transit used to be much wild but now it's pretty good.
