Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 9 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Midtown side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is healthcare. Other than that, Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in Highland for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good airport with direct flights
- The food scene scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

As someone who grew up here, it exceeded my expectations. A lot has changed in the past few years though. healthcare used to be much manageable but now it's solid.
