Greeley
Star Rating - 3/12/2008
Zach, excellent insights on Greeley. I lived in Greeley for 6 yrs and here
is my two cents worth.

Pros: 1. excellent weather, bad weather rarely lasts long. 2. Very friendly people 3. Greeley has a number of nice parks 4. Greeley has a low crime rate
5. Compared to Boulder,Denver, Fort Collins,Longmont and Loveland, Greeley is
a much cheaper place to live 6. nice place for a retiree 7. nice town to raise a family in.

Cons: 1. awful job market with very few professional job options 2. very poor
cultural scene 3. many jobs in Greeley pay very low wages 4. very little to do, many of the UNC students always leave on the weekends. 5. the K-12 system
is a mess 6. foul smelling most of the time because of the slaughterhouses
7. very limited selection of good rests

The cow smell only happens when the wind blows the wrong way, and it's rare these days. Cultural scene is quite adequate and beats driving to Denver. Public schools are not much better, though I can't remember a place I've lived where they were good. Luckily there now are a few charter schools. Cost of living is considerably cheaper than other CO metro areas mentioned above, but definitely not cheap. Food expensive, utilities not bad at all.
