Hey folks, Crime rate is something to consider -Ridgefield sits at 111.7 per 100K. Median household income is $117,550, which feels pretty solid for the area. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Worth the trade-offs? The food scene here is surprisingly good.

I've lived in Highland for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Charlotte, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Decent public transit for the size
- The community vibe scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for retirees. Hope this helps!.
