I've lived in Highland for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Lots of new development happening
- The housing market scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
