Is Rexburg good for remote workers?

First post here. Military spouse here. You can expect to pay around $959 for rent here. Rent is about $959/month for a decent place. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Has anyone dealt with this? The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The weather takes some getting used to. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a social worker who relocated here from Chicago about 2 years ago. The main reasons were family and cost of living.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Lots of new development happening
- Close to major attractions

Cons that are real:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Limited shopping options

Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are stable, gas is hit or miss.

Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Happy to answer more specific questions..
