"Home Sweet Home" Redmond by PhilHut

I've lived in Redmond since 1992. Its quality of life is good, trees and water are in abundance (but continually threatened by development). Salaries are high, and food and real estate are expensive. Nobody walks anywhere. People are generally polite but not overly warm. There is zero nightlife or culture.

In short, it's a nice place to live and work, but with not many reasons to visit.

• Pros:Plentiful parks and trails, great library, lots of buses
• Cons:Rude drivers, negligible nightlife, very little culture
• In a nutshell:Nice place to live and work, with not much else to do
