Not sure if this has been asked before, but Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Crime rate is something to consider -Roosevelt sits at 125.2 per 100K. Median household income is $112,614, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a small town city with about 1,059 people. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Thanks! It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from New York about 13 years ago. The main reasons were school and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Decent public transit for the size
- Affordable housing options
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Dating scene is rough
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are growing, gas is challenging.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've lived in Highland for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The job market scene is average
The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..
