Random thought, Homes are going for about $203,900 on average. Average temperature is around 48--F, so expect cold winters. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Bought a house here in 2023 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Uptown. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in finance. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Korean.
Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Maple Ridge. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in real estate. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Italian.
