I've lived in Highland for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Miami, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Diverse dining options
- The dating scene scene is solid

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Urban sprawl is real

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Midtown. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in education. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

We moved here with our family and it's not perfect but it works for me. Schools in Oak Park area are excellent. Kids love it here.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.

I've been here 7 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is pretty good.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
