Hey folks, I'm a 51-year-old lawyer and Homes are going for about $388,200 on average. The unemployment rate is 3.8%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Would love some local perspective.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Houston about 10 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Affordable housing options
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Limited entertainment options
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are competitive, gas is tough.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Good luck with whatever you decide..
