Homes are going for about $344,700 on average. It's a a small town city with about 12,366 people. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Is this normal for Tehachapi? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I've lived in The Heights for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good healthcare facilities
- The outdoor recreation scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. Feel free to reach out with questions..

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is public transit. I have mixed feelings honestly. Worth doing your research before committing.
