I've lived in Highland for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Nashville, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Active local events and festivals
- The walkability scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for families. No regrets on my end..
