Highland Homes For Sale
Highland
Highland is a quiet, working-class neighborhood located in the heart of North-Central Austin with charming, modest, single-family homes. The neighborhood is probably best known for the Highland Mall, once a prominent shopping center that has fallen into disuse in recent years, and the Department of Public Safety office to renew driver’s licenses and car registrations. Residents choose to call this neighborhood home for its convenient location near major Austin roadways and quiet neighborhood atmosphere. Residents also love the deep sense of community felt and fostered in Highland. The neighborhood association is very active and sponsors local events in the community. Getting to work in downtown Austin is easier than ever thanks to the Austin Metrorail station in the neighborhood. The old Highland Mall in the area has also recently transformed into ACC’s newest campus. The Highland neighborhood is a very walkable neighborhood, with many amenities within just a few blocks from your front door.
