Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I genuinely enjoy living here. Compared to Seattle it's challenging.

Weather-wise, the summers are underrated and winters are growing. You get used to it after the first year.

Bought a house here in 2022 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 1 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Uptown side vs the Old Town side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The traffic is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..

Bought a house here in 2024 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in South area are challenging. Kids love it here.
