Living the life in Scottsbluff, NE 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I am so happy living with my wife and family in Scottsbluff, NE. It is beautiful here. My wife and I are both doctors at a local hospital. There are a lot of great jobs here for medical professionals. We love the small town atmosphere of Scottsbluff. Living in Scottsbluff is a bi ...Read More t like going back in history to the 1950s, where neighbors and store clerks are friendly and welcoming. It feels homey and safe.

We enjoy spending time doing healthy family activities and enjoy all the outdoor activities that are available to us in Scottsbluff. The best areas in Scottsbluff to live in are Hillerage and City Center. We've lived in Hillerage for the past two years after selling our house in City Center once we had our children.

If you don't like the small town feel, you probably would not be a fan of Scottsbluff, but if you are looking for a great place to raise your children, Scottsbluff is the perfect place. The schools are great. We love how much time the teachers take getting to know our kids. You won't find that in the big city. Read Less
