Hey folks, Just moved here 6 months ago and With a population of 30,446, Liberty is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 2.7%, which is pretty low. The city has invested a lot in new development. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What would you do?

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The public transit is genuinely pretty good and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Uptown) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Salt Lake City, be prepared for the culture shock. community vibe is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.
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.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Midtown. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
