Been meaning to ask this. We're a young couple and It's a a mid-size city city with about 125K people. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. Worth the trade-offs? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to.

We moved here with our family and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Schools in The Heights area are solid. Kids love it here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.
I've been here 7 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the Pine Hills side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
