I relocated for work and Rent is about $1,374/month for a decent place. It's a a smaller city city with about 36,455 people. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Appreciate any input.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is public transit. it exceeded my expectations. Worth doing your research before committing.

My experience has been mostly positive. it was the best decision I ever made. The only thing I'd watch out for is walkability. Other than that, Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Moved here from Miami about 4 years ago. I have mixed feelings honestly. Still getting used to community vibe but Hope this helps!.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I have mixed feelings honestly. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in East for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Decent public transit for the size
- The weather scene is average
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

The food scene here is surprisingly good. Tons of great farm-to-table places. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

As someone who grew up here, it's improved dramatically in recent years. A lot has changed in the past few years though. job market used to be much competitive but now it's excellent.
