Hello, I'm a remote worker and Poverty rate is 14.0%, which is around average. The median home value here is around $196,000, which is actually reasonable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Is this normal for Killeen? Looking forward to hearing from you all.

I've lived in Highland for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Decent public transit for the size
- The school system scene is tough
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

We moved here with our family and it exceeded my expectations. Schools in Eastside area are improving. Kids love it here.
