Hey folks, I'm a college student here and Rent is about $999/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 10.5%, which is around average. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Am I overthinking this? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 13 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Moved here from Miami about 6 years ago. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Still getting used to job market but No regrets on my end..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I genuinely enjoy living here. Compared to Atlanta it's better than expected.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 6 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is tough.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Fairview side vs the East side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've been here 10 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into biking, this place is challenging.
