Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from Houston about 11 years ago. The main reasons were weather and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Decent public transit for the size
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are competitive, gas is excellent.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. the quality of life is solid. Compared to Austin it's improving.
