Is Waukee getting better or worse?
Curious what people think. The weather takes some getting used to. The weather takes some getting used to.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Phoenix about 2 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and quality of life.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are established, gas is improving.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
