So, I'm single, late 30s, and It's a a small town city with about 24,802 people. You can expect to pay around $1,080 for rent here. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. What are your go-to spots? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Fairview. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in education. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Came here for cost of living and stayed because it's exactly what I was looking for. The food scene is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
