Best things about Fort Collins that nobody talks about
As a 3-year resident, here are some things about Fort Collins that don't make it into the guides:
1. The local music scene is really vibrant
2. Several hidden gem restaurants that rival big city food
3. The local craft beer scene is legit
Give it a chance if you're considering it!

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Highland Park and Midtown are perfectly safe.

The job market has been improving lately. Several manufacturing companies moved in recently.

Coming from New York, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are cheaper.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

Don't sleep on Southside. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Respectfully disagree about the job market. In my experience, it really depends on your lifestyle.
