Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Minneapolis about 2 years ago. The main reasons were family and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are pricey, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Happy to answer more specific questions..
