Hi all, Crime rate is something to consider -McAdoo sits at 475.6 per 100K. Homes are going for about $84,800 on average. Average temperature is around 50--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $84,800, which is actually reasonable. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Does this match your experience? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is average in most areas.

I've lived in Highland for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Portland, 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 schools in most areas
- The traffic scene is decent
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..
