Homes are going for about $290,500 on average. Poverty rate is 5.4%, which is pretty low. Median household income is $80,844, which feels pretty solid for the area. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Pros:

- Lots of new development
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
