Life in Rutland as a young professional

Hey, Just moved here 6 months ago and The median home value here is around $176,400, which is actually reasonable. With a population of 15,747, Rutland is a small town. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

What's it really like living in Rutland?
