Only a few miles west of Lake Michigan, Highwood is bookended by miles of green space and parks. The Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve rests on the north side of town, and Exmoor Country Club is located on the southern part of the suburb. Naturally, residents take full advantage of the outdoor beauty found in and around town. Renters in town flock to scenic Openlands Lakeshore Preserve for hiking, swimming, photography, and beachside picnics.
Highwood feels suburban, but has a thrilling nightlife and dining scene. Green Bay Road and Waukegan Avenue are home to a variety of unique eateries and bars. Highwood is known for its delicious casual fare, from Mexican-style hot dogs to comforting Italian dishes. Residents socialize at local watering holes with happy hour specials and bar games. Club 210 of Highwood, with its chandeliers and candlelit tables, is a hotspot for weekly live music. The fun doesn’t stop in Highwood’s commercial district either. The community hosts plenty of food festivals, game nights, and other special events for the entire town to enjoy.
