Grocery stores in Rockwell Place -recommendations?
Curious what people think. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Appreciate any input.

Bought a house here in 2016 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone about the same since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem challenging.
I've been here 9 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's wild and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the Sunset side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. it exceeded my expectations. Compared to Salt Lake City it's average.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a teacher who relocated here from Nashville about 4 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Financially, we've found it tough compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are developing, gas is excellent.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

My experience has been mostly positive. it's improved dramatically in recent years. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Bought a house here in 2015 and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Property values have gone down slightly since then.
