Alright, The suburbs are where most families end up. Cheers. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Bought a house here in 2023 and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Atlanta about 2 years ago. The main reasons were school and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- Active local events and festivals
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are developing, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Good luck with whatever you decide..

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

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