OK so Poverty rate is 15.0%, which is around average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Has anyone dealt with this? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's not perfect but it works for me. The only thing I'd watch out for is food scene. Other than that, Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are challenging, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value healthcare, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely excellent and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Cedar Grove) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Denver, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Road conditions need improvement.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is food scene. I love the pace of life here. Worth doing your research before committing.
