Lifestyle

We know the importance of taking care of one another. Through our challenges, we have found new opportunities. We are now one of the most affordable places to live in the country. But it’s the quality of life here that’s really worth mentioning.

We offer an abundance of schools with specialized areas of study ranging from coding to science and tech, and the arts. If your family is active and into sports, we’ve got you covered (see below).

Our community is safe, diverse and affordable. We are home to a vibrant arts and cultural scene. And if you haven’t heard us talk about our big backyard, it’s likely because we just met. The abundance of nature, space to move and room to thrive never ceases to amaze.
