What it's actually like here

Living here as a digital nomad? It's surprisingly affordable, especially compared to other US cities. A 1-bedroom in the thick of it runs about $1500, but venture out a bit and you're looking at $1100 – a steal for reliable US internet (170 Mbps is solid!). Your monthly grocery bill will be around $310, and you can grab a cheap meal for $12. This city is perfect for nomads who don't mind a smaller nomad community and thrive on constant entertainment. The infrastructure is top-notch, as expected in the US, so you won’t struggle with connectivity. But here’s the honest caveat: while there are 12 coworking spaces, the high safety and walkability scores (55 each) indicate it’s not exactly a pedestrian paradise everywhere, and the overall vibe might get repetitive if you're not into the unique brand of entertainment it offers.
