As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much manageable but now it's average.

I'm a lawyer and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is excellent and there's always something going on.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to Portland it's excellent.

We moved here with our family and it was the best decision I ever made. Schools in Pine Hills area are excellent. Kids love it here.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Boston about 14 years ago. The main reasons were work and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Lots of new development happening
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Can feel isolated
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are competitive, gas is hit or miss.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Weather-wise, the summers are average and winters are reasonable. You get used to it after the first year.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is average in most areas.
