Been meaning to ask this. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The city has invested a lot in new development.

The food scene here is tough. Tons of great Asian places. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.

We moved here with our family and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Schools in Eastside area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- The safety scene is tough
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for couples. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is food scene. the quality of life is solid. Worth doing your research before committing.

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's been a really good experience overall.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Compared to Denver it's challenging.

Alright, I'll give you the full rundown since I see a lot of surface-level answers here.
I've been in Pine Hills for 1 years. Moved from Phoenix for my partner's job. Here's my honest, detailed take:
**Housing:**
The market right now is decent. We bought in 2017 at k and it's now worth about the same than that. If you're renting, expect /mo for a decent 3-bed in a safe area. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals.
**Employment:**
real estate is strong here. government is hit or miss. If you're remote, you'll love the cost of living. Average salaries are competitive for the area.
**Quality of Life:**
it's not perfect but it works for me. The outdoor scene is surprisingly good - we have rivers within easy driving distance. Dining has gotten so much better in the past few years.
**Schools (if relevant):**
Varies hugely by district. Pine Hills schools are solid. If you have kids, this should be your number one factor in choosing a neighborhood.
**The Bad:**
I'd be lying if I said everything is great. Limited public transit options. Not a lot of cultural diversity. And public transit can be frustrating.
**Bottom line:**
For couples, I'd say this is a 5/10. Would recommend to anyone considering it.. Feel free to ask specific questions - happy to help.

My experience has been mostly positive. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The only thing I'd watch out for is school system. Other than that, Definitely worth checking out..
