Hey, I relocated for work and Homes are going for about $355,100 on average. You can expect to pay around $1,884 for rent here. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in South. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in tech. If you're in finance you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Thai.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've lived in South for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Decent public transit for the size
- The housing market scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Definitely worth checking out..
