Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Compared to Salt Lake City it's solid.

We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in South area are decent. Kids love it here.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Westside. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in government. If you're in marketing you might struggle.

People: Generally tough. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
