My partner and I are Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

We moved here with our family and I love the pace of life here. Schools in Old Town area are underrated. Kids love it here.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a sales manager who relocated here from San Diego about 6 years ago. The main reasons were weather and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are reasonable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Happy to answer more specific questions..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is community vibe. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.

I'm a data analyst and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.
