What to expect moving to Scottsbluff?

Just moved here 15 months ago and Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. With a population of 14,406, Scottsbluff is a small town. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Worth the trade-offs? The weather takes some getting used to. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

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

I've been here 15 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into running, this place is surprisingly good.

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

Good luck with whatever you decide..

Weather-wise, the summers are improving and winters are growing. You get used to it after the first year.
