    I think Highland Heights is a wonderful community. It is safe and family friendly. The houses range in affordability and the taxes are fairly decent. I would like to see some more programs or activities at the community center. They have programs for young kids and seniors, nothing for in between. Other than that I enjoy the community!

    I've lived in Highland Heights since I was in fifth grade (which isn't saying much, I'm a sophomore in high school now). The city has always been family friendly, though- community days, movies in the park, family nights at the pool, etc. But it is the people here that make the city nice to live in. They are always friendly and easy to talk to. It is a great space if you have kids; a lot of my friends live around me. It is a nice town and a great place to raise children.
    Quite and nice area , friendly people, big public library, public pool, public music area”The Grove” provides very professional level of bands
