I've lived in The Heights for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Seattle, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- The cultural scene scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is community vibe. Other than that, Good luck with whatever you decide..
