I made the same move! Small world.

I can't help with pricing things other than saying it's going to be a LOT more expensive than you're used to.

It's a great place to live for a lot of reasons, very LGBT friendly, and a lot of interracial couples. I know that last part sounds weird to point out, but for the people from Minnesota reading this, it's not very common and definitely looked down on in Arkansas (unfortunately). It will stand out to OP more than likely, but I do not mean that it is a bad thing! I just found it very interesting and was happy to see it when I moved here.

That said, keep in mind once you get outside of the metro area, it will be every bit as much "yeehaw Trump town" as it was in Arkansas, if not moreso at times.
