Hello, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Rent is about $1,627/month for a decent place. You can expect to pay around $1,627 for rent here. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Uptown. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in tech. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Korean.
No regrets on my end..

Hot take but it was the best decision I ever made. I know a lot of people disagree but after 12 years here, that's my honest assessment.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Cedar Grove. It's pretty good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in legal. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
