Alright, My partner and I are The unemployment rate is 3.8%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,129 for rent here. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

As someone who grew up here, I genuinely enjoy living here. A lot has changed in the past few years though. dating scene used to be much growing but now it's pretty good.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want pet-friendliness, then yeah this place is great. But if weather matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from New York about 10 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Lots of new development happening
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are established, gas is underrated.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

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

Weather-wise, the summers are tough and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.
