It's a a smaller city city with about 56,690 people. The median home value here is around $455,200, which is pretty steep. With a population of 56,690, Highland is a smaller city. The city has invested a lot in new development. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

- Low crime in most areas
- Good airport connections

- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Poor road conditions
