We have two kids and Homes are going for about $213,700 on average. You can expect to pay around $920 for rent here. Median household income is $63,315, which feels about average for the area. The median home value here is around $213,700, which is actually reasonable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I've lived in Highland for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by traffic. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Strong job market in several industries
- The healthcare scene is decent
The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Rising rent and home prices
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Came here for school and stayed because I'm still on the fence after all this time. The outdoor recreation is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I work in real estate here and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The job market for my field is surprisingly good. No regrets on my end..

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's exactly what I was looking for.

Hot take but it's improved dramatically in recent years. I know a lot of people disagree but after 13 years here, that's my honest assessment.
