An Honest Review

9/21/2021
Against my better judgement I will write a completely honest review from a hird generation resident.. Kalispell is one of the most beautiful places you will ever see, this is undeniable.. That being said it is like any place with its good and bad. I say this because people tend to come here expecting Utopia and being baffled when they see someone who is homeless or somebody who has a drug problem. People are human here. That being said, we still have one of the lowest crime rates.
Downfalls- the housing and overall cost of living. Yeah it's through the roof and unrealistic. This is a problem thats developed over the past decade created by so many people moving in and trying to buy up all the property. THAT's why locals aren't always welcoming of people moving in. People here are super loyal and friendly however people are fed up with losing their ability to pay their rent/mortgage..
Yes despite having low crime, we do have some crime like anywhere else. That being said, I haven't locked my door in seceral years, I often leave my keys in my car and there isn't a single area of town I'd hesitate to walk through at 3am. Most of those who complain are people who moved here and expected the town to change to accomodate their views and wishes. It doesn't work that way. Would I recommend moving here? No-- but only because of the housing costs . Unless you are very well off financially it will be a struggle. Thats as honest as I can be folks!
