Been meaning to ask this. With a population of 11,868, Laurel is a small town. Median household income is $89,282, which feels pretty solid for the area. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Am I overthinking this? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value public transit, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely challenging and I've found I love the pace of life here. My neighborhood (Cedar Grove) is established and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Denver, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Summers can be brutally hot.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
