Total pit - 5/28/2021
You have to be a complete jerk to live here. These people are total losers. never been In a town where it's ok to steal and lie. the city tries to steal.

Good schools and jobs; industrial and ugly - 2/5/2020
I've lived here several times - adding up to around 37 of my 45 years - and I can't wait to leave. As soon as my youngest graduates from high school I am out of here. The schools are good, the Recreation Center is really nice, and most of the people are friendly. And although Gillette is mostly an industrial eyesore, it is only an hour to the beautiful Black Hills or the Bighorn Mountains. The winters are long, cold, and windy. It's almost always windy. Most of the people are conservative to a fault, and not open to listening to differing ideas. Meth is a big problem. Housing and rentals are expensive. It's been a decent place to raise a family, but there are much nicer towns to live

Lots of money, but little class. - 11/3/2015
I have lived in Gillette for the past 7 years with my family. It's a very unattractive town, as far as the geography. The nearest mountain is about 60 miles away. The city is trying to make big improvements and there are areas that are newer and nicer. For being in the middle of nowhere it has an amazing recreation center. Healthcare is less than desirable, although they spent a fortune on a recent upgrade to the hospital. Housing is outrageous and of poor quality. It's not unusual to pay 300,000+ for a home with linoleum and no upgrades. Real shopping is a two hour drive away. Overall, the people are friendly, but a little rough around the edges. Generally, people here work shift work at the mines, which results in children raising themselves. This creates children who are often in trouble and exhibit a lack of respect for authority or the "traditional family." There is a lot of money in the community and that works well for the education system. All schools have the best and

No Economic Development - 8/17/2005
The City of Gillette is supposed to be one of the richest in the country. Yet they have 25-30 kindergarten students per classroom. The City also stunts any sort of growth for big business. If you want to buy a decent pair of shoes for your children at a reasonable price, you have to drive 2 hours to Rapid City,
