Hello, I'm retired and Homes are going for about $957,500 on average. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Thoughts? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've lived in Old Town for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The healthcare scene is improving
The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Hope this helps!.
