Pros and cons of Northglenn after 7 years

Curious what people think. I'm single, late 30s, and The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. It's a a smaller city city with about 37,953 people. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. Crime rate is something to consider -Northglenn sits at 456.6 per 100K. Poverty rate is 7.0%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Close to nature
- Diverse community
- Strong sense of community

Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Poor road conditions
What are your go-to spots? The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
