Makes it more friendly. Basically it shows that you feel that both you and your hearer are in agreement.
タクシーは高い is just a statement - taxis are expensive
タクシーは高いね becomes a friendly "taxis are expensive, aren't they?"
Also, it can be a request for confirmation or agreement from your hearer. Depends on the context.
