My experience has been mostly positive. it's exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I'd watch out for is weather. Other than that, Hope this helps!.

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The community vibe is underrated compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'm a real estate agent and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is average and there's always something going on.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Compared to Chicago it's excellent.

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is cost of living. Other than that, No regrets on my end..

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. pet-friendliness used to be much pricey but now it's better than expected.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 14 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into camping, this place is pretty good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The East side vs the Midtown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are average, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value traffic, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely tough and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Meadowbrook) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Salt Lake City, be prepared for the culture shock. safety is completely different here. And Nightlife is limited.
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 I have mixed feelings honestly. I know a lot of people disagree but after 6 years here, that's my honest assessment.
