Alright, I'm a 35-year-old project manager and Average temperature is around 74--F, so it's warm year-round. Rent is about $1,414/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 7.7%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $68,863, which feels about average for the area. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

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

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Nashville about 8 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Lots of new development happening
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Nightlife is limited
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are established, gas is pretty good.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Happy to answer more specific questions..
