You can expect to pay around $1,109 for rent here. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Has anyone dealt with this?

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are average, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Seattle about 5 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Close to major attractions
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Nightlife is limited
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are pricey, gas is decent.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Hope this helps!.

I've lived in North for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The walkability scene is average
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Came here for family and stayed because it's not perfect but it works for me. The food scene is honestly excellent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

As someone who grew up here, I have mixed feelings honestly. A lot has changed in the past few years though. outdoor recreation used to be much competitive but now it's solid.
