Hot take but I have mixed feelings honestly. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Meadowbrook. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in tech. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Hope this helps!.

I've lived in Midtown for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good schools in most areas
- The cost of living scene is solid
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Hope this helps!.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Raleigh about 13 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Urban sprawl is real
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are pricey, gas is improving.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Happy to answer more specific questions..
