Random thought, With a population of 14,967, Spring Creek is a small town. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I've lived in Highland for about 4 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 Phoenix, I was surprised by safety. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Close to major attractions
- The community vibe scene is improving
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..

I work in engineering here and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The job market for my field is challenging. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are challenging, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Moved here from Portland about 2 years ago. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Still getting used to dating scene but Hope this helps!.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Nashville about 13 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Active local events and festivals
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Far from beaches/mountains
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are growing, gas is better than expected.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
