Alright, Born and raised here. The unemployment rate is 4.5%, which is about average. Homes are going for about $123,300 on average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What do you all think? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Strong sense of community
- The job market scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
