Lovely area for families

I've raised my son here, and have couldn't asked for a better place to do so. Weather is great year-round (although it can get brutally hot and dry sometimes), the crime rate is pretty non-existent and you can't beat the view of the mountains. Cost of living is not cheap; housing, food, utilities, and gas prices are all pretty expensive.
Now that my son has grown and moved out/on - its time for me to do the same. This is definitely not the place for single people!! Its also lacking in entertainment options. If you want culture, you'll need to drive elsewhere. If you'd like a number of diverse options in food, you'll need to drive elsewhere. And when it comes to driving - plan accordingly. Everyone else is driving along with you, so things can get pretty jammed up, pretty quickly.
Great place for young families or couples with empty nest. Singles, not so much!
