Median household income is $79,952, which feels about average for the area. The unemployment rate is 3.8%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $340,600, which seems about average. You can expect to pay around $1,397 for rent here. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Lots of new development
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Lack of diversity
- Not enough green space
