Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it was the best decision I ever made. No regrets on my end..

Hot take but it's improved dramatically in recent years. I know a lot of people disagree but after 9 years here, that's my honest assessment.

I've lived in Highland for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Charlotte, 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
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The community vibe scene is tough
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Property taxes are high
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..

Public transit is better than expected here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

Used to live on the Westside side, now on the Eastside side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Internet is tough in most areas.

We moved here with our family and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Schools in Highland area are decent. Kids love it here.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. it's been a really good experience overall. Compared to Austin it's tough.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem underrated.
I've been here 13 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the weather is legit. And if you're into running, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
