Hey everyone, I'm retired and The unemployment rate is 4.1%, which is about average. The median home value here is around $86,500, which is actually reasonable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. TIA! Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

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

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Westside. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in legal. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's not perfect but it works for me. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Compared to Tampa it's surprisingly good.
