Been meaning to ask this. My family moved here when I was a kid. It's a a small town city with about 10,151 people. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from Atlanta about 1 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are manageable, gas is improving.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Happy to answer more specific questions..

My experience has been mostly positive. I genuinely enjoy living here. The only thing I'd watch out for is cultural scene. Other than that, Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
