Homes are going for about $212,800 on average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to.
