Moved here from Boston about 11 years ago. it's exactly what I was looking for. Still getting used to walkability but It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.

I've been here 8 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is dating scene. It's developing 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 average.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the North side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..
