Job hunting in Lone Tree -tips?
The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value weather, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely tough and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (Uptown) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Boston, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Limited entertainment 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.

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Bought a house here in 2020 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Hot take but it's improved dramatically in recent years. I know a lot of people disagree but after 1 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a social worker who relocated here from Tampa about 12 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Four distinct seasons
- Close to major attractions
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Can feel isolated
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are manageable, gas is average.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Came here for weather and stayed because I have mixed feelings honestly. The weather is honestly average and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
