Not sure if this has been asked before, but I relocated for work and Poverty rate is 8.0%, which is pretty low. Worth the trade-offs?

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

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 11 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's pricey and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
No regrets on my end..

I've been here 4 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is school system. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is surprisingly good.
