Casper V Cheyenne Wyoming

- So, you’re thinking of moving to Wyoming. Well, Wyoming is a rather large state, so, exactly what area of Wyoming should you move to? If you have watched any of my other videos you may have noticed, I am a bit partial to Casper - but, I’ll admit, Casper isn’t the only city in Wyoming to consider. Let’s compare Casper vs Cheyenne. Let's talk about weather, what the activities are like, median home prices, median income, taxes and all things Wyoming!

When I was shopping towns in Wyoming before moving here, there was absolutely no contest; Casper is way better in nearly every way. Nicer scenery, nicer people, nicer town in general. I actually wouldn't even consider living in Cheyenne now, while Casper is one of the best places I've ever lived. Just one guy's opinion, but Casper is WAY better.
Thank you so much for watching! I agree!
I am considering moving to Wyoming. I’m from Roswell, NM and I have lost my wife recently and I’m thinking of moving to Wyoming. Your videos are fantastic and I think I’m going to come for a visit.
I drove through the state and stayed for a night on Cheyenne. I fell in love with the city. The people were friendly across the board, the empty spaces in the state were beautiful, and there is a surprisingly strong metal music scene for anyone who likes that. It seems like a place where you could go and find community pretty easily
Metal? I’m a huge metal fan. I need to know more about this!
There’s loads of articles and website talking about the Wyoming metal scene you can look it up although the dude prob is referencing the king cobra guy
But listen to Antisaint,teenage bottle rocket,righteous vandetta to get a idea of the scene
Cheyenne has all the advantages of living in Colorado without living in Colorado
I lived in both Casper and Cheyenne. Cheyenne's economy is more stable, due to being the center of state government, Union Pacific, and two interstate highways. Casper's economy can be more boom or bust. With access to the University of Wyoming-one hour away-and Denver-two hours away-Cheyenne is less isolated. Cheyenne also has a fantastic library! I did enjoy living in both cities.
The wind blows all the time and very hard in Casper. It sucks. Live closer to or in the mountains. You will like it much better.
I lived in Thermopolis Wyoming for the better part of a decade and found it had a lot to offer with the Wind River canyon, Boysen reservoir plus the best weather in Wyoming with little to no wind and relaxing pace of life not to mention for a small town has many of the amenities a small city offered
It’s one of my favorite places!
Thank you for watching!
Seeing the scenery of Casper as you walked the streets was enough of a sale for me. Its Casper all the way
What a beautiful city!!!
You left out the fact that Cheyenne boasts an excellent library, the Laramie County Library (Awards: 2008 Library of the Year: Laramie County Library System and 2016: One of the 6 Best Children’s Libraries in the United States). The State Archives are in Cheyenne as well.
Great video. Pretty fair analysis! I've lived years in both Cheyenne and Casper: Excess wind was always big for me. Casper is more prone to economic boom/bust cycles (oil town) and has more "flood insurance required" zones (sits in mountain drainage valleys). Due to the Air Force base, State Govt offices, and proximity to Colorado, ... Cheyenne is a very stable economic zone. However, I've had an easier time getting employed in Casper.
Wyoming, in general, isn't for everyone and has a distinct social flavors that offends some and pleases others.
I love your videos. They're super informative. How would you compare Casper to Sheridan? I'd love to see a video on that, if you don't mind making one.
Caspar seems to be friendlier and less congested to me. When i was looking for a retirement town, i didn't want to get back to a big city again. Yes, more shopping and restaurants and things to do in Cheyenne, but Caspar has more outdoors and less noise and crowds. But the winds and winter cold is pretty grim.
The weather is not for the faint of heart, but worth it to be able to call this place home.
I like the videos... If I could give one recommendation though, I think for aesthetics it would be more friendly on the eyes if you paused from walking from time to time even if to lean on a post or something. I don't know why but the slow paced walk constantly messes with my eyes or something. lol maybe it's just me. Either way. I subscribed I enjoy the content. Thanks for what you do!
We’ve been looking between Casper, Buffalo and Sheridan.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but Crystal and Granite are much closer to Cheyenne than Glendo. Cheyenne also has 3 lakes in the city, no river though.
Thank you. Son's moving to FE Warren next summer.
Great video for the noobs Alisha. Now the viewers need to get out and spend time in both to see what they prefer.
Yes absolutely!!!
You made me love Casper with this video
Thank you Alishla❤
Casper has a Circle of Protection around it year round; Cheyenne only gets it once a year when Cobes passes through to visit family in Colorado. TWU!!

Yeah, we thought about Casper and Cheyenne, but we were drawn to Gillette by the lower population although still has decent medical facilities and is still kind of median when looking for access to larger shopping in either Rapid City, Billings, or Casper a couple hours away in either direction.
I loved this! Thank you for consistently sharing your Wyoming knowledge with us :)
Thanks girl! I appreciate you watching!
My Great Grandparents were born and raised in Cheyanne Wyoming, I’ve always wanted to visit. Cheyanne and Wyoming as a whole looks like a beautiful place. I too like the fact that it’s so large and yet it has the smallest population of all 50 States. A lot of open space and an outdoor sports Mecca. Also, snowboarding/skiing at Jackson Hole is world class and a must stop for all us ‘powder addicts’, lol. Anyways, I just wanted to show some aloha. TWU
I moved to Cheyenne a year ago and liked the advantage of having access to Colorado without actually having to live there. I've visited Casper but, like Laramie, they both seem relatively isolated.
Colorado is also short trip from Casper. Laramie is a fun little collage town!
We loved the video. I think living in Casper or Cheyenne would would be a win either way.
Thank you for watching!
@@alishacollinsrealestate ❤
Cheyenne has no dark wizards. So that’s a plus
TWU
Buy a shirt
They arrested a dark wizard over Christmas break
Cheyenne cops are not a fan of dark wizards, unlike Casper cops that watch all his videos. They haven't even heard that it's illegal to arrest an autistic.
love your videos, they are so informative. your love for Casper and Wyoming is refreshing to see.
Your videos are well done and VERY helpful. Thumbs up !!
Thank you so much!
Alisha, I've been binge watching your videos for a few days now & this was the first one I saw. I've been researching towns in WY & CO for a friend who has been making the commute for his doctor & job in Denver from SD. (They allow him to work when he can, long story!) You have even peeked my interest a bit, at least for a visit! I've been through parts of WY & Yellowstone, but mostly to the wide open parts & I didn't realize that Casper has so much to offer! Wow! My friend said he wanted a smaller town & he's looking at Douglas & Wheatland. If you have info on these places, it would be greatly appreciated! Also, I just wanted to say thank you for your enthusiasm & all the info you give!
Thank you! I appreciate the comments!!! Let me know if he needs any help in those areas!
cheyenne
Glad I found this video. I’m relocating there next month dvd I’m not sure where to look for an apartment. I need something affordable
Casper or Cheyenne? Thank you for watching!
Nice comparison, thanks!
Thank you!
Very beautiful
I lived in Casper in 2009. I went to a local record store to buy the new c.d.from Otep. I was told they didn't carry her music because it was "too dark"😡
Praise cobras magic
TWU dood
I've lived in both cities. They both have bad winters and high winds. Cheyenne is closer to Denver for advanced medical care and a major airport...and shopping opportunities. Casper seems to offer closer outdoor activities.
Being closer to the heath care in CO can defiantly be a plus. Thanks for watching!
@@alishacollinsrealestate I remember when I lived in Casper some specialists only came there once a month for appointments
Great job with the video!
can you do a casper vs laramie please?
Coming soon! Thank you for watching!
@@alishacollinsrealestate Having lived in both places, I'm excited to see a comparison of these two communities, as well.
@@amberscrossbroker3731 Just curious...which city did you like better and which one would be better for retiring?
Casper looks prettier. Visuals are important.
Cody!
Your making me think I need to look closely at Casper. On my way to Sturgis next year I think I need to visit and look around for a day.
We would love to give you a tour!
@@alishacollinsrealestate I may have a more solid plan by then. My home state has no political representation for me. Our 2A rights are under attack here. I have a good job here but the cost of living has exploded. I will certainly look you up as I head through. Probably even call a couple weeks ahead and make an appointment?
WAYYY too expensive! If I'm going to move to a bitterly cold & windy desert in BFE, I shouldn't have to pay California prices.
Small town Kansas kid here. Looking at possibly moving to Casper or Cheyenne. Tried colorado… wasn’t for me. Too much crime, taxes, cost of living, as well as other things. Love anything outdoors. So it seems like it has skiing, hiking, as well as hunting and fishing. Hoping this could be a good fit. Not too worried about the wind, had that in Kansas for a long time. Any current residents, tips on living and what it is like would be appreciated. Thanks god bless.
I'd love to live on LANDER! OK, maybe during the summer months only: being the hot weather guy that I am (I'm a born 'n bred Arkansasyer) I know I would have trouble dealing with the long bitter winters of WY. I consider it to be cold when the temp falls below 65, LOL.
I grew up in the snow belt of upstate NY. I just left Casper in part because it couldn't handle the summers. They are brutal (90 degrees most days). By the way, the Ozarks are beautiful. I just don't visit in the summer.
Lander is my favorite, too, but isolated.
@@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu I thought just about everything in Wyoming is isolated...but that's OK, that's what, IMHO, makes Wyoming special & unique.
@@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu Housing in Lander is pricier than Casper
Does the river ever flood
You walking on the video is very distracting. The information is great. But the walking is starting to grate on me.
Hah this is exactly what I was looking for, ty
Colder vs. Coldest.
Cheyenne is the better area for truck drivers?
What about for jobs? (Specifically healthcare-hospitals)
Cheyenne has a level III trauma center and Casper has a level II trauma center..
@@ryanmilanovic303 Nice. Do you personally recommend one town over the other? I currently work in a lvl 1 trauma center.
In the past year, there has been an influx of poor people (mostly unemployed) moving to Cheyenne. Our crime is up because of it. We didn't have violent crime like this before; it was rare. This is not a good place for unestablished young people to move and expect hand-outs from the community, but that's what we're getting. There is also a shortage of acceptable housing here, so whoever is recruiting people to leave the big city for Cheyenne is not doing us any favors.
Which has the best motorcycle riding roads?
Love the videos.
I like your video but I'm a veteran and going to the veterans hospital so I would like to know if there is a veterans hospital in either city in Wyoming
We have a VA clinic here in Casper.
Wayyy back in my high school days, I was a theater kid and went to state competition theater, Casper had a nice theater and a theater program. I live in Cheyenne, the biggest city, and all we have is a community college with tiny programs. UW is a good football college and in small Laramie. Tahj Mowry came to UW because it was a strong football program, but couldn't handle the cold.😂
Where are the tribal casinos? Because that’s where I would need to go for employment.
Casinos are in Riverton, Wyoming.
I'm sure it was just an oversight, but you didn't say one word about the single women in each city which, for single guys, is a very important variable in choosing where to move.
Aren't there single people everywhere! 😆😆
@@alishacollinsrealestate You are funny! There ARE single women everywhere, but I think you will agree that not all single women are cut from the same cloth. Perhaps I should have added the adjective "beautiful" to my question ????
Tokyo Rose 🌹 is gone. Last time I was in Casper.
Neither city would suit me. The wind would drive me nuts. Lots of other choices available.
What do condos cost in each city: 3 beds, 1-2 baths. I am not a fan of maintaining a home.
In Casper they are $125-$175 for a true condo.
Do a comparison of Casper and Buffalo.
👍
👍
We wanted to buy the historic bank in Rock River. Someone (I know who. Nice guy.) beat us to it.
Are there a lot of power outages or internet?
I grew up in Casper so I can’t speak to Cheyenne. Casper is a great city and was a great place to grow up. You have to know though that the wind is CONSTANT. A day without wind is the exception, not the rule. And the range she gives is correct but remember that makes the average around 40 mph. Going 40 mph in a car doesn’t seem fast but a constant barrage of 40 mph wind can become annoying really quickly. Where you live in town, what direction your home faces, and the amount of wind barriers around your home decide for you whether you have a screen door on your home. You see many homes without screen doors (even the heavy duty metal kind) or just hanging there because the constant wind eats them.
If you’re not a winter weather person, Wyoming is NOT for you. Winter is usually always at least 9-10 months. And we’re not talking scenic Christmas movie snow; we’re talking you’ll want a backup generator and a food and water reserve just in case.
If my career paid better there I would move back to Casper in a heartbeat. I’m not a fan of wind or snow, but the vibe of the city is great.
One note: if you’re young & LGBTQ this is NOT the place for you. I’m sure it’s no surprise that Wyoming is not a great place for LGBTQ people. There is a quiet acceptance, a very 1950s “my uncle John lives with his friend Robert, they both just never found wives” attitude in Casper. Everyone knows what it means but it isn’t spoken about. There are apparently Pride events now but I don’t know much about them as I left in 1992 and there was nothing. I can only imagine in today’s political environment that your safety should be a concern.
I would move back, but i cant handle the Wyoming politics. I would pay twice the cost to live in Colorado where they actually care about the people
Any information on high schools in both community's ?
ua-cam.com/video/C4QpaLLlh2w/v-deo.html this is a school video I a couple years ago.
What are the demographics of each cities populations?
I’m on disability so I need something really affordable

Cheyenne has no mountains. They are as flat as Nebraska out there.
Casper is nicer and Cheyenne is closer to Colorado.
Casper is one of the ugliest places in all of Wyoming... second only to Rock Springs. It also has a really low-class population. I would not want to even stop for gas there... but I usually have to because it is far away from all other civilization or pretty rural areas.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Wow…rude
I just have to listen and not look the constant moving in your videos makes me sick.
Both are way overpriced. Flip a coin.
Our average wind speed is 16.02. When I was saying in one of your other videos that Alaska national guard comes to Minden NV in the Carson Valley/Lake Tahoe area to train their pilots in challenging wind and terrain, and that those pilots said it’s colder here than Alaska, I meant it. Meaning our move to Casper won’t be such a shock. Lol
Thank you for watching. Supposedly our average is 12 mph, which doesn't seem right to those of us that live here!
@@alishacollinsrealestate I do have a lot of questions if you don’t mind; my main concern is the water table out in the Horse Heaven/ Pine mountain area, how deep do the well drilling companies typically have to go out in the rural areas? I do have a few drilling companies numbers I’ve collected to call later, but I’m curious if you know. Thank you
