My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is school system. Other than that, No regrets on my end..

I work in finance here and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The job market for my field is better than expected. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Bought a house here in 2016 and I have mixed feelings honestly. Property values have gone about the same since then.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Miami and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Midtown. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in tech. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Indian.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a project manager who relocated here from New York about 14 years ago. The main reasons were weather and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good airport with direct flights
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Not very walkable outside downtown
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are established, gas is average.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value school system, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely excellent and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. My neighborhood (Maple Ridge) 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. cost of living is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.
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.
All Countries
