Hello, I'm single, late 20s, and Crime rate is something to consider -Clayton sits at 15.1 per 100K. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Does this match your experience? Property taxes are high but you get good services. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Highland. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Italian.
Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in The Heights for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Decent public transit for the size
- The dating scene scene is solid
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. Happy to answer more specific questions..
