OK so My family moved here when I was a kid. It's a a smaller city city with about 50,176 people. The unemployment rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 12 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
