Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Boston about 1 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Lots of new development happening
- Lots of family-friendly activities

Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are stable, gas is surprisingly good.

Socially, the quality of life is solid. Definitely worth checking out..
