Incorporated in 1887, the City of Highwood is the highest spot between Milwaukee and Chicago. It is also well known as one of the best places to go for great food on the North Shore. Many of Highwood's homes were beautifully constructed by talented Italian stone and brick masons who settled in the area. Today, residents of many heritages enrich the community through their cultural traditions.
Located 35 miles north of Chicago on beautiful Lake Michigan, the Village of Lake Bluff was once a turn-of-the-century summer resort. As a modern full service municipality, Lake Bluff is unique in character and hometown values and offers a lifestyle that is removed from urban traffic and bustle.
Highwood is the North Shore's destination for festivals, food & family fun! The beautiful Everts Park, in the heart of downtown Highwood, hosts many of Highwood's festivals including the weekly Evening Market, Garlic Fest, Bloody Mary Fest & more!

Highwood is on the Metra line, offers wonderful restaurants and bars, bike trails and parks (some right on Lake Michigan), great Highland Park schools, and a long tradition of community spirit.
