Hey everyone, I've been here for 3 years and Median household income is $44,324, which feels on the lower side for the area. Poverty rate is 19.5%, which is higher than I expected. Rent is about $793/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $161,700, which is actually reasonable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What are your go-to spots? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The community vibe is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..
