Hi all, I'm a 43-year-old firefighter and The unemployment rate is 4.5%, which is about average. Rent is about $1,097/month for a decent place. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. Has anyone dealt with this? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I've lived in Highland for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good internet infrastructure
- The dating scene scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. Definitely worth checking out..
