Hey folks, It's a a smaller city city with about 88,919 people. Median household income is $70,578, which feels about average for the area. The median home value here is around $177,600, which is actually reasonable. You can expect to pay around $1,163 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.
