Average temperature is around 43--F, so bundle up in winter. With a population of 8,393, Sitka is a small town. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Thoughts? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to.

Used to live on the Cedar Grove side, now on the The Heights side. Completely different vibe. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

I've lived in Cedar Grove for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The dating scene scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Can feel isolated
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say the quality of life is solid. The dating scene is challenging compared to other places I've lived. Overall Good luck with whatever you decide..
