MICROPOLITANS: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
In contrast with Mt. Airy, Sheridan, Wy. is a micropolitan located very remotely from a major metropolitan area. Salt Lake City, Utah sits nearly 400 miles away.
But that’s not stopping city dwellers from the East, California and Colorado from moving to this mountain community of just over 26,000 people,
“We don’t have enough houses to sell to interested buyers,” said Sheridan Realtor Vickie Farrington, who handles primarily residential sales.
“Prices are going up, but it’s still much cheaper than the big cities,” she said.
“People want to escape the big city. This is a quiet community with little crime. People leave their keys in their cars. They don’t lock their houses. And it’s inexpensive to live here,” said Farrington.
