Affluence meets accessibility, culture meets cordiality, the city of Highland Park, nestled along five miles of Lake Michigan, is a wonderful community of diverse homes, beautiful forestry, and the epicenter of outdoor performing arts at Ravinia Festival. Lauded for its Affordable Housing Initiatives and the numerous cultural opportunities available to its residents, Highland Park serves as a wonderful blend of residential serenity and urban stimulation.

Residential

The title of “city” given to Highland Park believes the tranquil and wooded quality of its residential neighborhoods. Copious ravines and wild flowers enhance the community's backdrop with a carefully planned approach for reforestation, public flower gardens, and preservation of open space. nnually,
since 1980, the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters have awarded Highland Park their highest national honor, Tree City, USA. The diverse housing market in Highland Park includes small bungalows, lake-front estates, ravine mansions, traditional Georgian and Tudors, downtown condominiums, and even a few homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Schools

Highland Park students attend one of two award winning and nationally recognized school systems, Districts 112 and 113, which include two high schools (Highland Park HS and Deerfield HS), eleven elementary schools, and two special education institutions.
