What I wish I knew before living in Second Mesa

There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. What are your go-to spots? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

The food scene here is hit or miss. Tons of great seafood places. I love the pace of life here.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it's exactly what I was looking for. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've lived in Highland for about 1 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 Portland, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Decent public transit for the size
- The dating scene scene is surprisingly good

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

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. No regrets on my end..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Compared to Raleigh it's surprisingly good.
