In "5-10 years", most of the restaurants will have new/different names, be closed, or be re-opened by new dreamers, etc. And, if the popl. increases slightly, over the next 5-10 years, I would suspect there will be a few new joints opened...
Not to beef, but I wonder how one posts questions about a 'place', based upon a 'possibility' to maybe consider that place, a half to a whole decade, in the future. YMMV...
GL, mD
Well planning ahead is good, that way when the time comes, one has many options.
I'm kind of curious how much of a walking town is Highlands. Is it one of those small towns where you have to drive everywhere all the time, are is it set up where you can park your car in the morning and then walk everywhere else until all your errands are done.

It's all a central Village. Yes, you park and walk to all your errands.
Another thing about Highlands I am wondering about- the access to and the quality of health care. My wife has long-term health issues so that is something we need to factor into our ultimate decision.
I know Highlands has a local hospital, can anyone out there tell me how well-rounded it is. By that, I mean is it small hospital able to handle a limited type of medical conditions and the more serious/long-term ones have to be sent elsewhere or does it have the capacity to handle a large gamut of medical conditions over the long-term.
Is there a large community of Medical professionals or do you need to travel elsewhere to see anything beyond a family doctor?
Not as extensive as what you'd get in a major city, but due to the influence of wealth in the area, much better than you'd expect. I know someone who used to recruit doctors and he could never place a doctor there. They simply don't need any help in recruiting doctors. Too many doctors are chomping at the bit to live in the area.
Ugh. Highlands. Talk about the most non-real town in the state. Oh yes, the typical male walks around wearing khakis and suede jackets, while wearing dress shoes and sporting a gel-back hair cut.
Or, women in fur coats or decked-out while taking a leisurely stroll on an afternoon, as though they're going out to dinner or to spend a night out on the town.
The people are fake. The place is fake. When you're in a place, and the men don't wear blue jeans, not even on a weekend, you know something is wrong.

Beautiful area, though.
Well, let's see. Owned our Highlands house since '04. Don't wear khakis except shorts...no suede jackets since the '80s. Can't find my dress shoes(unless you count newish Vasque hiking boots). Hair is all natural, no moose, gel or spray. DW does not own a fur coat and is as likely to wear jeans as the next woman. I've spent many hours working in our real yard, blowing the never-ending leaves off our real roof and enjoying real meals both in Highlands restaurants and at home. During one of the really nasty storms, some real neighbors were out in it, clearing the roads of fallen trees to make sure folks could get out.
Get real.
