Longtime lurker here, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Median household income is $64,438, which feels about average for the area. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Worth the trade-offs?

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is safety. it's not perfect but it works for me. Worth doing your research before committing.

Hot take but I love the pace of life here. I know a lot of people disagree but after 2 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've lived in Highland for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Good healthcare facilities
- The food scene scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Happy to answer more specific questions..
