So, Born and raised here. It's a a small town city with about 3,621 people. You can expect to pay around $2,120 for rent here. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The safety is challenging compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value food scene, you'll love it. The housing market is genuinely underrated and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Fairview) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Road conditions need improvement.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
