Curious what people think. Rent is about $1,330/month for a decent place. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. What do you all think? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Highland. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in retail. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Korean.
Hope this helps!.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are better than expected, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in South. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in retail. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Happy to answer more specific questions..

As someone who grew up here, I have mixed feelings honestly. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much competitive but now it's improving.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 14 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is challenging.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the The Heights side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Definitely worth checking out..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 7 years and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. 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 photography, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
