OK so I've been here for 15 years and Let me know your thoughts. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Came here for a job opportunity and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The healthcare is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.

I've been here 1 years and I genuinely enjoy living here. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is average.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

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

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want safety, then yeah this place is great. But if public transit matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
