Come Home to Highland

A Proud History
Highland's original townsite was founded in 1891, and the community soon became an important contributor to the citrus industry. Many of the buildings constructed during the town's early era are still in use, helping to preserve the sense of community and transition into the Highland of today.

Highland is primarily a residential community and offers a full range of affordable housing options. Currently, six different residential developers are building here. Our City is also the home of East Highlands Ranch, a master-planned community featuring premium housing and private recreation facilities.
