Household incomes average around $100,156 in Steamboat Springs. Homes are going for about $874,400 on average. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

I'm a pharmacist and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is improving and there's always something going on.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Oak Park. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.

People: Generally average. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Southern.

Feel free to reach out with questions..

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

Came here for weather and stayed because I genuinely enjoy living here. The healthcare is honestly average and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

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