I've been here for 16 years and It's a a small town city with about 14,249 people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Should I be concerned?

I've lived in Lakewood for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Close to major attractions
- The pet-friendliness scene is decent
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..
