Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 14 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from Minneapolis about 11 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Active local events and festivals
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Public transit is decent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

Bought a house here in 2018 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Old Town. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in marketing. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like sushi.
Definitely worth checking out..

I work in real estate here and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The job market for my field is challenging. Hope this helps!.

As someone who grew up here, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. A lot has changed in the past few years though. housing market used to be much stable but now it's improving.
