Great place for retirees. Beautiful town with mountains all around. Lots of restaurants and shopping.
accessibility to colleges, both community and University, stores, and other services. There is hiking trails and recreation facilities for all and a bus system of transportation as well as a tram to major adjoining cities and businesses. Historical society that interacts with school age children and a city that wants to implement new and varied services/activities that appeal to its citizens well being. A crime free place to live and an outstanding fire and police department, major and elected officials.
Close to shopping centers, doctors, and easy access to freeways.
