Bought a house here in 2018 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

I've lived in Highland for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's exactly what I was looking for. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
- The traffic scene is average

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
