Living in Highlands

Getting to know Highlands

Highlands brings together marinas, waterfront dining and the historic Twin Lights. Nearby Sandy Hook adds beaches and trails to a town visit. Ferry service is another reason to explore the waterfront when comparing locations.

Plan a town visit

Start with the Twin Lights and the waterfront, then visit the streets around any home you are considering. Compare the route to the ferry with your actual schedule rather than relying on a general commute estimate.

Make the search your own

Start with the places you want to use regularly and the kind of home you want to maintain. Compare outdoor space, parking, storage and the layout of each property. If you are considering a condominium, request the building’s current information and fees before comparing it with a detached home.

For school enrollment or a regular commute, check the exact address with the relevant district or transportation provider. A town-wide description cannot answer every property-specific question.
