How much do you pay for rent in Cottonwood Heights?

Hey folks, Been living here since 2022. The median home value here is around $641,900, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $1,697 for rent here. With a population of 32,984, Cottonwood Heights is a smaller city. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The food scene here is surprisingly good. What do you all think? Appreciate any input. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 7 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 Houston, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good airport with direct flights
- The walkability scene is average

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Greenfield for about 11 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 Atlanta, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The food scene scene is solid

The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's not perfect but it works for me. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
