Highland, Utah City Review 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) What a wonderful place to live for people of any background! I am telling you now, that if you want a place with plenty to offer, Highland Utah is the place for you. Knowing the complexities of society and of course the changing times, leaves one wanting for more. I knew I would ...Read More find everything I was looking for when I moved here to Highland.

Living in Highland brings me peace of mind everyday. Whether it is the fact that leaving doors unlocked is totally okay, or the higher than average graduation rates that we see here, I am stoked to call this place home.

Although the cost of living tends to be a bit higher that the rest of the state, that is made up by great living locations, and the fact that the job market is very steady and lucrative. The Cedar Hills area is amazing too, and right next to Heritage Park! I suggest you give a visit and see for yourself! Read Less
