Relocating to Bozeman, MT -pros and cons?

Hey everyone, I'm a remote worker and Rent is about $1,611/month for a decent place. You can expect to pay around $1,611 for rent here. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Is this normal for Bozeman? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in The Heights. It's underrated for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in retail. If you're in construction you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
