I am seriously considering moving to Cheyenne. I've been in big cities for a long time now and ready for more nature and hiking in my life. Thank for this video, I feel like this is the right move for me and my son.
Ready to evacuate from Houston. Hoping to get away from road rage shootings, carjackings, and corrupt politicians. Daughter evacuated to northern Colorado last year, now my turn! Cheyenne looks like a great place to live. Researching taxes, self protection rights, etc....
You are definitely looking in a great region of the country. And of course I’m going to recommend that you choose Wyoming! 😂 check out my 5 regions of Wyoming video and the follow up videos for each region that are coming out. It will show you more of the state too.
That’s a big request. Without knowing what you might be looking for I can only say that there are jobs at most hospitality establishments. We also have several national companies that have distribution centers here so warehouse work is plentiful. And there are several large data centers as well so IT jobs are also available. I hope that helps.
Well I hope that my videos give you some good ideas for places to visit. Also, I will be doing some videos on neighborhoods around town so be on the lookout.
Hi - thank you for your videos! I have two questions... do not laugh if they look not so smart: 1- how are summers in Cheyenne? What is temp? Is there humidity? Is air condition is necessary or is it OK without? 2 - is there any public transportation in the city? How good it is? Is this possible to live in Cheyenne without owning a car? Thank you in advance!
Summer is the best time of the year in Cheyenne. The wind dies down and there is always something to do. Concerts in the plaza events in parks, etc. We do have a bus system. Since Covid it has been used more on a reservation, door to door basis but the normal routes are slowly starting up again. I’m not sure of the timeline to get back to full schedule. I do think that you will need to make sure to find housing on or near a bus line if you don’t own a car. The bus system is not as robust as it is in a larger metro area.
I’m thinking about applying for a job with Union Pacific in Cheyenne. But I’m a big city guy. I don’t hunt, fish, or camp. I do like the rodeo though. I was thinking that if I get stir crazy I could drive down to Denver. Whaddaya think?
Denver is definitely a good option. It’s not a very long drive. And there is also the northern Colorado cities that people from Cheyenne visit a lot. The Fort Collins, Loveland area has some stuff to do too. But you will be surprised at how much you can find to do right here in town.
Yes it is a big of a deal, because not everyone want to shop for everything online. Sometimes we want to just get up, go get it and have it that day. Also window shopping is fun itself.
You've got to put the traffic into perspective because I'm sure people coming from a large city such as LA, San Fran, Chicago, NY, DC, or Philly won't think of a 30-45 minute commute as serious traffic. 🙄
@@wynotwyoming6659 For perspective, where I live is a big city where there are six lane highways in some parts and depending on driving conditions and distance to travel things can always take about 45 minutes to get to and under stressful driving conditions. I've got friends/work colleagues from out of town who have visited and say that, "driving on these highways is like driving in a video game where your life is always in danger." 😂🤣😳It does take a little getting used to...
I’ve lived in Colorado all my life and spent 10 years in Hartsel which is known for wind. I understand the wind you describe but what I’m wondering is what is the growing season time? Colorado mtns it’s shortened by over a month. How about Wy? Is there actually a full season. The joke in FairPlay/ Hartsel Co is there’s two seasons - winter and July.
I think it’s about the same in Wyoming as in Colorado. The growing season is much longer in Denver than FairPlay and is longer in Cheyenne than it would be in Saratoga or other higher elevation towns.
@@aleon13 the average price of an existing home in Cheyenne regardless of neighborhood is around $335k and the new build areas are closer to $600k. So picking a neighborhood will probably put you in the existing home bracket. And will depend more on what amenities you need. Schools, shopping etc. I would recommend that we get you Pre-Approved when the time is right for you and then I can introduce you to a couple of fantastic Realtors that can show you around.
I am an American - Norwegian living in Ukraine. We are looking for a decent place to move to raise our daughter. This looks like Norway without the 45% taxes.
I have never been to Norway so it is hard for me to speak to it. My gut tells Me it may not be very similar but I will have to leave it to the comment section to tell us.
Believe it or not, but I love the wind, and I can't get enough snow. My big concern is if I'll be able to ride my (still-in-my-dreams) electric bike year round (?).
It sounds like you love two of the abundant things we have to offer. 😂 I think you could ride for the majority of the year, albeit, if you’re dressed appropriately, but for sure there will be days that you may not make it to work on a bicycle.
I have a question. How is Cheyenne with people wanting to start a business? I have been wanting to start a new business and currently have one in my current state but really hate how there is too much competition in my area and hard to stand out and it seems people love their big chain businesses more than small businesses. Is it easy to start one?
Wyoming was the original home of the LLC concept and remains very business friendly. We are at the forefront of blockchain. And are also very tax friendly for businesses and employees.
Starting a business is easy! Making a business a success requires tons of work! But we have resources that aid in financing, a really great Chamber of Commerce, and a community that lives to support local!!! Hope that helps!
the biggest cons is for truck drivers because they have heavy gust wind blowing trucks over all the time there and its a dangerouse places for truck drivers to drive truck through.
In Cheyenne and in Casper you will not have problems with cell reception or Wi-Fi. And there are malls in both. As you head out into the wide open spaces remember that there is a small population and a very large state so cell phone reception may be unavailable in some areas.
I went there last summer 2021 , I really like it, especially around powderhouse area. I really want to move there. People are nice and I like small city. But I do have question that why people there , they do have big areas but there have no many trees around the house. Do the soil there can do some gardening?? Thank you
I’m glad you liked your visit. The climate is somewhat arid so only certain types of trees thrive here. As you drive around you see quite a few species of coniferous trees. You can garden successfully but the growing season is a bit shorter than you may be used to so check in with a local nursery for advice on starting in the spring.
@@wynotwyoming6659 Please make more videos, I do enjoy to watch. I want to know about jobs overthere, what kind of jobs and opportunity for entrepreneur. Thank you.
Where I live the only option currently is Spectrum. Although they do have high speeds the hardware isn’t too goo. You would definitely want to upgrade routers, etc.
I say; nonsense. You can drive whatever you want. We have a 2WD car and get around just fine and my in-laws have a old RWD pickup and also get around just fine. Apartments can be a little trickier but I would say that we have quite a few new apartments being built so that may alleviate some of the shortage. All in all I do t think it is that much harder to find an apartment than anywhere else in the country right now. There is a shortage pretty much everywhere. Keep in mind that I am a local lender and may be able to help you purchase a home and pay your own mortgage instead of a landlords mortgage so let me know if I can help in that way.
@@karliegilbert7307 I would love to chat with you. I will be available 1st thing tomorrow morning or I have some times available on Friday. 720-883-8452 for text or call.
@@aquariuslady777 what I think is great about Cheyenne is you can get to some amazing, picturesque spots in just a short day trip. It would be great for a photographer.
@@wynotwyoming6659 I sent for a Cheyenne visitors guide and relocation packet. Am traveling to the Grand Tetons in September for photography the first time and will drop down to Cheyenne to check it out
I’m not sure if this will fully answer your question but it will give some insight: wyofile.com/in-the-laramie-mountains-too-many-elk-and-no-easy-fixes/
Let’s talk about crime, not a deal breaker overall, 25% less violent crime than national average but 86% higher property crimes, what’s with that? Meth heads? A few bad neighborhoods?
I’ve attended quite a few events lately about this exact subject. I do not think we have a disproportionate amount of “bad actors” in town. But I have heard that the jail was closed during Covid and the staff was downsized resulting in a severe lack of capacity. The DA’s office was in a very similar boat. So my take away is that criminals were getting away with more and feeling more emboldened. This resulted in upticks in crime that I think we will see come down pretty dramatically over the year and in upcoming years. I guess time will tell but I for one am feeling petty optimistic!
hol up.. im from IL and lived in DFW... the crime in Cheyenne cant be as bad as here lol.. aint no way man.. like the other guy said in the comment, good luck living anywhere. you will never find a place on this earth without crime. and from hearing what ppl say about the crime rate in cheyenee is not bad at all if youre coming from a place like IL (chicago).. lol..
I have heard that there are bad apples in town and that they have created some trouble and caused our great city a tarnished reputation. And I will say that politically this is a very red state, but a great many “red” voters are not racist so… I will also say that I have many local friends of a variety of ethnicities, as well as LGTBQ and they have not indicated the same difficulties that I hear rumored.
I'm Black. My experience is that if you're looking for it you will find it. I figure if you don't like me because of the amount of melanin in my skin, it's YOUR loss.😂😅❤😊😂
