Sometimes the traffic is bad and there isn't much to do, but it's a great place with great people! Everyone is nice here, very friendly.
The town is beautiful and set between two mountains. Collegedale has clean streets, great people, and plenty of fresh air. For the outdoors person there are trails for hiking, biking and exploring. Plenty of nightlife activities nearby, but far enough to not ruin the quiet and serene atmosphere in collegedale. It is a Christian community with an elementary, high school, and university all within a half-mile range.
