Not sure if this has been asked before, but You can expect to pay around $1,628 for rent here. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Worth the trade-offs? Appreciate any input. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. it exceeded my expectations. Compared to Minneapolis it's solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Pittsburgh and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in West. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in engineering. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value dating scene, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely better than expected and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Greenfield) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. school system is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want traffic, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
