Moving to Bluffdale for work -advice?
Anyone in a similar situation? Thanks for reading. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 4 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the Sunset side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Hot take but I'm still on the fence after all this time. I know a lot of people disagree but after 1 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've lived in Westside for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Decent public transit for the size
- The outdoor recreation scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. No regrets on my end..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Compared to Raleigh it's challenging.
