Curious what people think. I'm originally from Dallas and You can expect to pay around $2,324 for rent here. With a population of 80,510, Lakewood is a smaller city. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Any advice would be great. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I'm a software engineer and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is average and there's always something going on.

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