Remote worker thinking about Selma

Jaxon Ross Nov 12, 2025

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely decent and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Old Town) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Denver, be prepared for the culture shock. traffic is completely different here. And Can feel isolated.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Used to live on the East side, now on the Old Town side. Completely different vibe. it's been a really good experience overall.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is school system. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.

Used to live on the Greenfield side, now on the Riverside side. Completely different vibe. it's improved dramatically in recent years.

As someone who grew up here, it's exactly what I was looking for. A lot has changed in the past few years though. community vibe used to be much developing but now it's decent.
