Hey folks, I'm a remote worker and You can expect to pay around $2,143 for rent here. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Any help is appreciated. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's been a really good experience overall. Good luck with whatever you decide..

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

I've lived in Lakewood for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Lots of new development happening
- The dating scene scene is average
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

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