So, There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is excellent in most areas.

I've lived in Highland for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The public transit scene is solid
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Feel free to reach out with questions..
