Hey, With a population of 76,945, Woodbury is a smaller city. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

I'm a chef and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. The community is surprisingly good and there's always something going on.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value food scene, you'll love it. The cultural scene is genuinely improving and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. My neighborhood (Uptown) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Austin, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

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

I work in marketing here and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The job market for my field is solid. No regrets on my end..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is healthcare. it's been a really good experience overall. Worth doing your research before committing.
