I've lived in West for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it exceeded my expectations. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Four distinct seasons
- The outdoor recreation scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
