I work in hospitality here and it exceeded my expectations. The job market for my field is improving. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is housing market. it's been a really good experience overall. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 12 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 Minneapolis, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Decent public transit for the size
- The cost of living scene is average
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. Feel free to reach out with questions..
