My husband and I moved to the area 6 years ago in our late 20's and have loved it. Most of our neighbors are friendly, a good mix of young and older folks but we notice our older neighbors are more approachable. We were surprised to learn that about half of our neighbors we know are LDS, but have never felt bothered with the LDS culture. The access to the mountains is amazing and the best in the valley and maybe even the country. Plenty of hiking and skiing within minutes but we do plan accordingly because of increased traffic in the canyons at certain times (weekends & powder days). There's also a nice variety of local and chain restaurants but we wish for more walkability to a centralized area with local spots. CH is a typical suburb, but we come from Midwest suburbs and it far beats that because of outdoor access. It's also not unique to CH but the poor air quality in the valley is frustrating to deal with every winter and summer - something to consider if moving from out of state.
I moved here from a failed liberal big city destroyed by high taxes, crime and no concern for those who work hard and act civilized. Living in cottonwood heights is a dream. It is quiet, safe ,friendly and to date not costly. The people are friendly, caring and most care for their property.
Unfortunately we do have a few liberal socialists who proudly display racist signs on their front lawns. Not sure why these people choose to live in a 99.9 % white community and feel they must embarrass themselves with their public statements. If you feel the need to express your disgust with the community it would be best to relocate to the already destroyed Salt Lake City.

Everyone in this neighborhood is very friendly! It's also been a really safe place to live. The area is well taken care of, and it is clean.
