Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a accountant who relocated here from Houston about 2 years ago. The main reasons were weather and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Lots of new development happening
- Active local events and festivals

Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Road conditions need improvement

Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are established, gas is pretty good.

Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Hope this helps!.

Public transit is tough here. You'll probably need a car for most things. the quality of life is solid.
