I work in marketing here and it was the best decision I ever made. The job market for my field is challenging. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've lived in Highland for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

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

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good healthcare facilities
- The dating scene scene is average

The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Feel free to reach out with questions..
