r/laramie

I heard of heating issues and breaking of glass due to weather and all and needing regular upkeep

Edit: would a sunroof be a better option as I hear many say not a good idea for Panaromic?

This was on a different site but it's here now

Laramie is an anomaly wrt housing. When I describe my experience, reactions are along the line of why so pricey? A 7.5k sf lot is about 103k. That is an insane $600k per acre. I see homes with ridiculously tiny yards. Many older homes have single car garages with no expansion options. Goldilocks much? Sure too small or too big. Perception is Laramie or Wyoming in general is spacious. Reality is Laramie is an compact urban area. The city is working on this, and it took time to get here, and it will take time to resolve.

Taking a group of about 6 people (plus kids) hiking in the Snowy Range next weekend. We’re doing Corner Mountain. I’m trying to be "Bear Wise," but since I know the Snowy Range isn't technically Grizzly territory, I’m wondering if bear spray is standard practice for you guys. Are black bears active enough around Corner Mountain right now to justify it? Also, does anyone carry it specifically for moose encounters? Appreciate any local tips!

Sign on the door says closed indefinitely.

You will be missed slightly, it may have not be the best food but it was something different. One less place in laramie I guess

Edit : the signs gone already damn that was fast

Where to find the best starter plants in Laramie?

The almanac doesn’t recommend my area (near Laramie) to transplant before June 20th, so I do still have a few weeks.

We're traveling from Yellowstone to RMNP, and stopping for the night in Laramie, WY. It's the night before my boyfriend's 30th birthday and I'd like to surprise him with a nice dinner!

Any recommendations? He's a meat lover!

I’ll be moving to Laramie in the fall, and have been searching for a place to live. I’m entirely new to the area, so I don’t have any roommates lined up.

The big student complexes— Alight, Pointe, Social— are all a good bit cheaper than anything else (1- to 2-bed) I can find in town. In particular, Pointe stood out to me as having the best room layouts / space / build quality.

Having read the reviews online, though, I have to wonder… are they worth it? I’m just resistant to the idea of spending $200-300 per month more for an older, smaller place, even if it is quieter / more private or has a personal landlord instead of a company. I’ve lived in and done fine with complexes that have hard-partying reputations and absentee landlords, but I’d rather not get hit with tons of unreasonable fees or needless hassle when moving.

If it really is worth it to hunt for something in town, where should / shouldn’t I look? What would I really be gaining or losing, and what is or isn’t normal to settle for?

Also, there’s a much bigger range in rent (especially per bed) here than I’m used to seeing. What’s actually a “good” number if I’m trying to live alone? With roommates?

I understand this is a lot to tackle in one post, but I’ll happily take what advice I can get. I’m trying my best to build an understanding of the town and before I screw myself over by signing a bad contract.
