Random thought, With a population of 19,035, Sheridan is a small town. Crime rate is something to consider -Sheridan sits at 50.3 per 100K. The median home value here is around $295,300, which seems about average. The unemployment rate is 2.1%, which is pretty low. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Does this match your experience? The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are excellent, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want public transit, then yeah this place is great. But if nightlife matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Eastside. It's hit or miss for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a sales manager who relocated here from Phoenix about 4 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Decent public transit for the size
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are established, gas is decent.
Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Definitely worth checking out..

Hot take but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. I know a lot of people disagree but after 4 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I'm a accountant and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is tough and there's always something going on.
