Alright, Median household income is $65,042, which feels about average for the area. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is decent in most areas.

I've lived in Highland for about 7 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 weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Four distinct seasons
- The cost of living scene is average
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited high-paying job options
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. No regrets on my end..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in The Heights. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in engineering. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.
