Highland is a rural community located about thirty miles due east of Saint Louis on Interstate 70. Largely surrounded by farmlands, this cozy hamlet exudes a timeless small-town personality, with a modest business district hosting locally-owned restaurants, specialty shops, and the landmark Lory Theater out of historic red-brick buildings and storefronts.
Silver Lake on the north side of town is a popular hangout during the summertime, offering a great venue to swim or just soak up some sun on the shoreline. Nearby, the Korte Recreation Center at Glik Park features an indoor water park, allowing residents to enjoy aquatic fun even when the weather outside is less cooperative. Rentals in town range from modest apartments to suburban houses, with options available to suit any taste.
