Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Nashville about 11 years ago. The main reasons were work and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are reasonable, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Definitely worth checking out..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 12 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the school system is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the The Heights side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

I've been living here for 15 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The nightlife is solid compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
