I'm a teacher here and Poverty rate is 7.8%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a a smaller city city with about 59,010 people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Anyone in a similar situation? I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
