Biggest downsides of living in Federal Heights?

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.

I've been here 4 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is nightlife. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
