Longtime lurker here, Born and raised here. It's a a small town city with about 5,183 people. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 8 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
