Cheyenne, WY Reviews

Not that bad of a place - 5/24/2013
Cheyenne only has one bad side of town.thats the south of town and people may call it a cesspool or multitude of other names most of the people who don't like Cheyenne probably live on the south of town.after being moved out for a while I find that Cheyenne is a good place to live if your older or just like the calmness and a slower paced city.Theres not much to do but you can always commute to someplace in Colorado.Most of the town is laid back each neighborhood is a little different I guess its just how you view your surroundings.Theres more than country folk out in Cheyenne too. If your in your 20s youll most likely be bored to death and want to leave unless your parents allow you to stay for free with them until you graduate college. Needs more to do is all a little more diversity wouldn't hurt anything at all. Check itd Read More

never move to cheyenne wyoming - 11/4/2012
The city should be listed as uninhabitable. The city is a dump and is filled with morebad people than good people although some come off as nice to generate a good first impression. The place is sly everybody knows everything about everything which in reality is nothing. Low crime but people try to make the place into a ghetto when its more of a slum. I wouldn't call it a good place for anybody to live although some people like it there. I didn't like the depressing hopeless feel of the city that the people live in I didn't like the few types of people out there of any race good and bad of any race. . If you must move to Wyoming move to Laramie or lander or possibley Jackson if you can afford it. Cheyenne has to many wanksters and uneducated people to satisfy any educated persons zest for life youll be gravely ddissapointed with what you find once you make Cheyenne your home. I haven't seen any other place white like it. There are a few good people out here and one or two good Read More

Western and nice for families with young children - 8/2/2012
Cheyenne definitely has a western feel to it all the large cowboy boot statutes around the city, as well as the Old West Museum. During Cheyenne Frontier Days (the last week in July)there are a lot of things to see and do as long as you don't mind fighting for a spot with all the other people that come to visit Cheyenne that week...

There are a fair amount of things to do for families with children. There are lots of parks, the Greenway (about 30 miles of paved trails), the Botanic Gardens, the Cheyenne State Museum, and the Frontier Mall. In Lions Park there is also the Children's Village, the Pool, and the Putt Hut for mini golf. There is also the Cheyenne Ice & Events Center that has laser tag, mini golf, and ice skating. There are also several golf Read More

Wow. I can't believe what I've read about Cheyenne - 6/27/2012
Yeah, I know how this little 2 horse town is and it amazes me at their egotistical views. I have heard that you can't fix stupid as well. But you know, Change Happens! The stupidity here drives me nuts at times and I want to smack ppl upside the head for being stupid but negativity only breeds negativity. Somewhere, someone, has to show these ppl there is more to life than the next drink and conquest! I intend to try. I love the closeness to the mountains (minus the fires plaquing CO), there is so much natural beauty, it just wouldn't be right to give it to those who don't appreciate what they Read More

Uninhabitable flyover territory - 3/2/2012
If you are white, ignorant, racist, stupid, and hopelessly conservative politically, and you love having the wind blowing hard constantly and having absolutely nothing to do, and you don't mind having no decent restaurants to eat at, no entertainment or cultural venues whatsoever, you don't mind living 150 miles from the nearest major airport and from any professional sports venue, then you will LOVE living in Cheyenne. Contrary to what I was told about a million times while I lived there, this is NOT a good place to raise children, and the cost of living without the state income tax is NOT cheaper than comparable locations in the US. There may be no state income tax (there's a reason for that), but you have to pay a hefty Boredom Tax. Unless you meet these criteria, I would run the other way if you are considering moving to this Read More

some good - - and not so good - 12/29/2011
I have lived here for the past16 years. Relatively small town with some big town amenities. State Capital. Most any kind of shopping and eateries that you would want. If you want a larger variety then Fort Collins, Co (40 min) or Denver, Co (90 min) aren't too far away. Near mountain recreation without the mountain snows in winter. Cost of living isn't too bad unless your from the souther states, where the housing is definitely cheaper. Fuel is cheap. Has a good community college and there are several 4 year colleges within a 1-2 hour drive. If your high school student has decent grades the state provides nice scholarships to in-state colleges. No state income tax and property taxes are decent. On $200,000 home it costs approx. $1,800/yr. Not so good - - WIND !!! It can ruin outdoor activities summer and winter. We get a lot of sunny days (300/yr) but the winter wind often ruins outdoor activity. Poor neighborhood zoning. You might have a $300,000 home right across Read More

some good, some not so good - 12/29/2011
Cheyenne,Wy like most places has both good and not so good qualities. Some of the good, not real big - approx. 55,000 population. Close to mountains but not as much snow as a mountain community. Cost of living very good, no state income tax and fuel prices are cheap. Have most any type of shopping and restaurants or within easy travel to lots more shopping ie towns of Fort Collins (40min) Denver (90 min). Raised my kids here. The schools are o.k. Not very friendly for Charter and private schools though. The local school districts are afraid of the competition. Crime isn't too bad but seems to be rising because of the increasing population. The oil boom is looming on our horizon not too far from town. Some not so good things, WIND !!! we definitely get way too much. There are 300 sunny days per year but in the winter there is often too much wind to bother going outside.You can't tell your near the mountains from most places in town so don't expect a beautiful mountain Read More

Buford, WY - 7/21/2011
We purchased a vehicle and was driving it home to New Orleans through WY. Our truck overheated and we found ourselves stranded in Buford, WY.
Called our road service for a tow truck. Owner of Buford's Trading Post was quite clear that he would not allow the tow truck "on his property".
Also, the road service would not send a tow truck because none of them would come because of previous incidents of getting a shotgun shot at them! We had to wait for our truck to cool down enough to find the next exit and got towed to Cheyenne, WY 20 miles away. So...what do I think of Buford, WY - Population 1? More like population of 1 Read More
