What's it really like living in North Highlands?

Longtime lurker here, Poverty rate is 15.6%, which is higher than I expected. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Does this match your experience? Any help is appreciated. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.

I've been here 1 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is food scene. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the walkability is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Pine Hills side vs the Meadowbrook side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..
