Retiring in Cedar City - 1/14/2017
My wife and I retired in Cedar City a few years ago. First, I must say that Cedar has a wonderful location. There are beautiful views of the mountains, and it's a short drive to Cedar Breaks and other nice hiking areas. Bryce and Zion national parks are within two hours. The climate is pretty nice, although it does get cold for a couple months in the winter. Skiers can enjoy Brian Head ski resort, which is about 40 minutes away. Cedar City's great environment should make for an excellent retirement haven. However, one cannot ignore the social climate here. If you are not Mormon, you must accept the fact that you will be on the fringe of the social scene. People are outwardly civil, but do not expect to have a lot of friends here. Do not consider this town at all if you are young and single or have small children and are not part of the majority religion. You will be isolated. Don't be fooled by the reviewers who say how friendly and wonderful the people here are. They

cedar city utah. - 11/8/2016
I have lived here in this town for 15 years and counting. and soon I will hopefully be moving away for good this time going to Alaska if everything plays out right. and what I have to say is true. this town is not a good place for people that are not morman. you get treated lower then a dog. and the collage students have no respect for people that are not in there league from what iv seen they yell rude things from cars were people cant snatch them up and beat the living daylights of them them. and yes I have to amit there is some beauty to the town in the summer. and job rates are rather low. and from what iv seen its hard to find one. I would not move to this town its a dead institution. there are lots of better places to move to were people will treat u with respect. there are some good people here in this god forsaken town. but for the most part its just not for me. people act all nice to your face then stab u in the back when u are not looking. that's my thoughts on living here

Pretty but not much else - 1/3/2013
I've lived in Cedar for a year and while I like the sunshine (it literally shines everyday) there isn't much else. I am originally from the mid-west where it is almost always overcast so the sun and low humidity is amazing but the weather is one of the only pluses. There are no jobs here. The SUU students never go out. I go to the two bars here in town and no one ever is there. Just guys, no girls. If you are single, stay far away. It is near impossible to find normal well adjusted partners here. I am not a student by the way. Everyone gets married at 18 and has kids. Drinking is shunned by the community. There are nice bike trails and you have the beautiful mountains to look at but don't count on any kind of night life. Go to church, that is honestly the best place to meet any people. You'd think this place is deserted if you don't attend church. Clean city, nice people, very scenic, but nothing else. Glad I am leaving Utah in three

Cedar City a.k.a. The Festival City - 9/5/2012
Cedar City is a beautiful place to live with a 360* view! The people are great with plenty of places to play with the kids no matter your budget. There is everything a family could want here in Cedar City. It is a University City, we support our local University with great pride... GO T-Birds!!! You can enjoy the festivals almost year round with everything from the world renowned Shakespeare Festival, the Blues Fest and the Renaissance Fair. Among all these wonderful qualities you also get to enjoy the beautiful seasons, which is the only real complaint I have about being here. 18 years of snowy winters with my health is too much :( I love the snow covered winter wonderlands and our unlimited hot cocoa at Denny's but now that our kids are all almost all of age we prefer somewhere we can just relax in the warmth. The biggest thing to note is that, partial to rumor, this town is not only for the LDS, it is filled with almost every major denomination!

Love it here - 2/2/2010
I have lived in Cedar since I was 18 (came here for college) and I have loved it the entire time. My first impression moving here is that everyone I met was so friendly. I stayed here after I graduated, and am sad to think about leaving. My husband moved here from out of state, he's originally from a much larger city, and although he originally thought he would be bored all the time without nearby concerts, shows, etc - he soon fell in love with it too. It's very pretty and safe here. Cost of living seems pretty low, apartments are much less expensive here than anywhere else I've looked at. The only downside is that it's difficult to find jobs, there aren't a lot of openings here. St. George is about 45 minutes away and there are more stores, business and job opportunities there although the drive might be a pain, especially during the
