Hey, Rent is about $1,409/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 54--F, so expect cold winters. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. What would you do? There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

We moved here with our family and I genuinely enjoy living here. Schools in The Heights area are pretty good. Kids love it here.

I've lived in Highland for about 4 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 Salt Lake City, I was surprised by community vibe. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Four distinct seasons
- The public transit scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. No regrets on my end..
