Hi all, I'm retired and Rent is about $1,633/month for a decent place. You can expect to pay around $1,633 for rent here. Median household income is $78,281, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 12.3%, which is around average. The median home value here is around $391,600, which seems about average. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Far from major airports
- Limited cultural events
Anyone in a similar situation? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
