Many people choose to live in Cheyenne for its affordable cost of living, low crime rates, and access to outdoor recreational activities. However, there are also some downsides to living in Cheyenne, such as harsh winter weather and limited job opportunities. Below are excerpts from four different user reviews about living in Cheyenne, showcasing a variety of opinions and perspectives.
1. From "John S.": "I've lived in Cheyenne for over 20 years and I absolutely love it. The small town feel is great and the people are friendly. It's also a very safe place to live, with low crime rates. The only downside is the cold winters, but if you're used to it, it's not too bad."
2. From "Emily D.": "I moved to Cheyenne for a job opportunity and have been here for a year. Overall, I'm not a fan. The city feels pretty isolated and there isn't much to do. The winter weather is brutal and the summers can be scorching. I'm also not a fan of the conservative politics and lack of diversity."
3. From "Mark T.": "Cheyenne is a great place to raise a family. The schools are good, there are plenty of parks and outdoor activities, and the cost of living is affordable. As a bonus, it's only a short drive to the mountains for skiing or hiking. My only complaint is that it can feel a bit slow-paced at times."
4. From "Maria L.": "I've lived in many different cities and Cheyenne is by far my favorite. The community here is incredibly supportive and welcoming. There's always something going on, whether it's a festival, farmers market, or concert. The only downside is the lack of job opportunities, especially for young professionals."

Cheyenne? - 6/17/2009
I was in Cheyenne about 7 years ago and enjoyed my brief stay there. My wife and I will be relocating next year from Arizona and are looking at this city.We are looking for a city that is small, family oriented and is accepting of outsiders.LikeI said before from what we saw then it seemed really nice but a brief stay does not qualify as being able to judge a

Cheyenne...A very nice town!!! - 2/20/2009
Hi,
I think Cheyenne is a great town! People are friendly,there are things to do,especially if you enjoy the outdoors. The Frontier Days parade is the best I've ever seen! The housing has become a bit pricey, however the crime rate is low and Cheyenne seems to be on a pretty steady growth pattern.
The wind is intense at times, but every place has it's problems!
I think it could be a great place to

Living in Cheyenne: - 7/3/2008
To all the people who doesn't like cheyenne, "move". I liked in Cheyenne for two years, I can't wait to get back. people are rude in every state, most of the people that I met was always really nice to us, there were a couple of jerks, but I met more jerks in other states. Cheyenne is a great place to live, I loved the slower pace, less traffic, friendly people and getting from one place to the other in a short amount of time, and with hearing all the road rage. I live in South Carolina, and I love most of the things here, but it is a lot more crowded, takes more time to get anywhere, but it is still a nice place to live. but Cheyenne is where we are returning to and retire there, I made real good money where I was there, if you didn't find a good paying job, you probably didn't want one. Every state has good and bad, and if you don't like living there, then find somewhere you want to live and move there. People bad mouth places, but no one is making them stay there. So stop fussing,

I have lived all over, and I choose Cheyenne - 1/24/2008
My husband was in the military and we lived all over. From North Dakota to Arkansas, to Europe and beyond....When it came time for retirement, we chose Cheyenne to call home.
The crime rate is extremely low. Yes, housing is completely out of control...but in our travels, we have discovered that housing is out of control in most places.
The statements that there is NOTHING to do, is incorrect. There is plenty of events that happen at the Civic Center. We have had the Moscow Ballet not only perform here, but include our children in the performances. Coming soon are additional performances, including Gypsy and Chicago. If you still seem to think that those aren't good enough, Denver is just a short distance away....close enough to visit, but far enough away not to be a huge influence.
So sorry that you all have had bad experiences here....and yes the drivers here could use a lesson or two in the proper manners in which to drive, but I think

This place is a hole in time - 12/24/2007
I have lived in a lot of places in the U.S.A. & I have never lived in a place that was so full of it`s self in the most arrogant way, they are proud to tell you that it is NOT what you know it is WHO you know to get a good job & that will only pay $10 dollars an hour.The only nice people here moved here from another state.The good ol boys club is in full swing here.They drive like a bunch of idiots here !!! These people are in there own little world & they know everything, just ask them. I am a regular white guy with a white wife,I could not imagine how hard it would be being of another race. The backwards third world attitude starts at the top,the state & local goverment is a mess,they are for the state NOT the people.The rich keep getting richer & the people here are living in poverity! This town can be bought off if you want somthing bad enought & have the money. They do not want people with any knowlage to move here,That would make it so they could not b.s. you & get away with

Windy Days - 5/8/2007
The winds are the biggest downfall to Cheyenne. Because of where it is situated in relationship to the Rockies we experience wind almost everyday of the year. On a calm day the winds can reach 15 mph and just a few months ago we experienced sustained winds at 65 mph with gusts up to 100
