Hi all, My family moved here when I was a kid. You can expect to pay around $1,195 for rent here. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Fairview. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in marketing you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

I'm a marketing manager and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is better than expected and there's always something going on.
