Bought a house here in 2019 and it exceeded my expectations. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Hot take but it exceeded my expectations. I know a lot of people disagree but after 13 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Denver about 5 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
Cons that are real:
- Bugs and humidity in summer
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are pricey, gas is pretty good.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The nightlife is average compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's been a really good experience overall. Internet is surprisingly good in most areas.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Four distinct seasons
- The school system scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. No regrets on my end..

Public transit is surprisingly good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.
I've been here 1 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the Old Town side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Midtown. It's average for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
Hope this helps!.

I've been here 14 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's established and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cultural scene is legit. And if you're into running, this place is hit or miss.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..
