Been meaning to ask this. I work in finance and It's a a small town city with about 1,894 people. Poverty rate is 7.3%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $989/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $256,800, which seems about average. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. Thanks in advance! The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
