Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Chicago about 7 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Active local events and festivals
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. No regrets on my end..
