OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Eastside. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in engineering. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

I've lived in Highland for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- The cost of living scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
