The cost of living here is phenomenal. But the storms are real. Try to rent a house and not an apartment or townhouse. Plenty of nice new homes for rent in the $1,000-1,200 range. Our rent in Denver, 800 sq ft, 2br/2ba was just over 2k. We’re at half that in Yukon in a new 1,700 sq ft, 3br/2ba house w/ a garage. Make sure to get a generator. And just try to stay away from living in the areas that get hit harder with wind. Try to get into a newer area with fiber internet and underground electric, especially if you work from home. When we had that ice storm recently our power was only out for 4 days. Other areas were out for over a week. I’m told 4 days is unusual but we were prepared. Best part is the people and living in a solid red state.
