Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.
I've been here 1 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is traffic. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the safety is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Pine Hills side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is school system. Other than that, Would recommend to anyone considering it..

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

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's exactly what I was looking for. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want outdoor recreation, then yeah this place is great. But if job market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Came here for school and stayed because it exceeded my expectations. The healthcare is honestly hit or miss and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
