What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Highland

I like the downtown area. There's a lot of little boutique shops thah make the area unique. I like that it's a small town but doesn't feel small.

It's the same area I grew up in as a kid. It's close to downtown with nice parks for the kids to play in. It also has a great school system.

I appreciate the how close it is to walking and biking trails. It's mostly quiet with friendly people.

Low taxes. Comfortable environment. I like to attend live performances. There are a number of venues and opportunities for musical and dramatic events

WE live in a community near a school and there is always events going on in our little downtown. We have diferent events in our downtown town of highland, like plays, movi in the park and more

Small nit community that comes together for many charities and things to do to better the neighborhood.
