Been meaning to ask this. It's a a small town city with about 2,751 people. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. What are your go-to spots?

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is pet-friendliness. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Worth doing your research before committing.

Bought a house here in 2020 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone up significantly since then.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Highland. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in construction. If you're in engineering you might struggle.
People: Generally tough. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Asian.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

As someone who grew up here, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. A lot has changed in the past few years though. food scene used to be much wild but now it's underrated.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a contractor who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 2 years ago. The main reasons were work and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Active local events and festivals
- Affordable housing options
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited shopping options
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are growing, gas is average.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Definitely worth checking out..
