Not sure if this has been asked before, but My partner and I are It's a a small town city with about 21,479 people. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. The unemployment rate is 4.6%, which is about average. Median household income is $80,534, which feels pretty solid for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Growing food scene
- Diverse community

Cons:
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
- Limited cultural events
