Curious what people think. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $57,556, which feels about average for the area. The suburbs are where most families end up. Should I be concerned? Any help is appreciated.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Worth doing your research before committing.

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 11 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Bought a house here in 2016 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because I genuinely enjoy living here. The food scene is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem better than expected.
I've been here 8 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is excellent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the Fairview side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Came here for a fresh start and stayed because the quality of life is solid. The safety is honestly average and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

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