Remote worker thinking about Landis

Sarah D. Sep 21, 2025

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Denver and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in West. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in legal. If you're in engineering you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've lived in East for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The traffic scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
