Curious what people think. Median household income is $96,145, which feels pretty solid for the area. The unemployment rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. It's a a mid-size city city with about 116K people. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. What would you do? The suburbs are where most families end up. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a accountant who relocated here from Atlanta about 2 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Affordable housing options
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are affordable, gas is challenging.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Hope this helps!.

We moved here with our family and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Schools in North area are decent. Kids love it here.

Bought a house here in 2019 and I genuinely enjoy living here. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

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