Curious what people think. Crime rate is something to consider — Fullerton sits at 266.1 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $2,124 for rent here. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Am I overthinking this? TIA! Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I've lived in Highland for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Close to major attractions
- The community vibe scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Happy to answer more specific questions..

The downsides:

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
