Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Portland about 15 years ago. The main reasons were work and retirement.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Limited shopping options

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are competitive, gas is excellent.

Socially, I genuinely enjoy living here. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
