Best hidden gems in Garrison

Hi all, I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 7.1%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Thoughts?

Moved here from Salt Lake City about 8 years ago. I have mixed feelings honestly. Still getting used to food scene but Definitely worth checking out..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a real estate agent who relocated here from Minneapolis about 10 years ago. The main reasons were school and work.

Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Diverse dining options
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is better than expected.

Socially, the quality of life is solid. No regrets on my end..

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because I love the pace of life here. The weather is honestly excellent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
