Moving to Beacon for work -advice?

Audrey Kim Mar 20, 2025

I've lived in Lakewood for about 1 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 Dallas, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good schools in most areas
- The weather scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
