I'm a accountant and I've found I have mixed feelings honestly. The community is solid and there's always something going on.

I've lived in The Heights for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The school system scene is tough

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for couples. Good luck with whatever you decide..
