Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a 30-year-old firefighter and You can expect to pay around $1,324 for rent here. Average temperature is around 74--F, so it's warm year-round. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by outdoor recreation. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good internet infrastructure
- The traffic scene is average
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value weather, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely average and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. My neighborhood (Highland) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Salt Lake City, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Rising rent and home prices.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Hot take but it was the best decision I ever made. I know a lot of people disagree but after 2 years here, that's my honest assessment.

If you value safety, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely pretty good and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. My neighborhood (The Heights) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. school system is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.

Hot take but there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. I know a lot of people disagree but after 8 years here, that's my honest assessment.
