Average temperature is around 48--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $59,397, which feels about average for the area. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Growing food scene
- Close to nature
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
