Hi all, Just moved here 16 months ago and With a population of 2,225, Sparks is a small town. The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Does this match your experience?

I've lived in Downtown for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Active local events and festivals
- Four distinct seasons
- The housing market scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Rising rent and home prices
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for young professionals. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
