We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in Pine Hills area are better than expected. Kids love it here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 4 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is hit or miss.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the Cedar Grove side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in South. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in construction. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like sushi.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

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

I've been here 2 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Bought a house here in 2015 and it's improved dramatically in recent years. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
