Hello, I'm retired and You can expect to pay around $804 for rent here. With a population of 1,645, Haskell is a small town. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Let me know your thoughts. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I've lived in The Heights for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Good internet infrastructure
- The outdoor recreation scene is average
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Old Town. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in real estate. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Indian.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

As someone who grew up here, it exceeded my expectations. A lot has changed in the past few years though. community vibe used to be much established but now it's pretty good.
