I've lived in Highland for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:

- Friendly community, easy to meet people

- Good airport with direct flights

- The nightlife scene is solid

The downsides:

- Summers can be brutally hot

- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
