Thinking about relocating to Gilbert from Salt Lake City
Been meaning to ask this. With a population of 271K, Gilbert is a mid-size city. Average temperature is around 73°F, so it's warm year-round. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What would you do?

Moved here from Houston about 4 years ago. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Still getting used to job market but No regrets on my end..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's been a really good experience overall. Internet is pretty good in most areas.

Used to live on the Oak Park side, now on the Meadowbrook side. Completely different vibe. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

I've lived in Eastside for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good healthcare facilities
- The traffic scene is solid
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for families. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Bought a house here in 2015 and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Property values have gone about the same since then.

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say it's exactly what I was looking for. The traffic is decent compared to other places I've lived. Overall Feel free to reach out with questions..

Bought a house here in 2017 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
