Living in Highland
With a mix of open farmland, a wide range of residential living options, state recreation land and more than 25 lakes, it?s easy to see why Highland Township is one of Detroit?s most attractive suburbs.

The township is perfect for homeowners looking for diverse living options within commuting distance to Detroit's metro areas. Located on Oakland County?s western border, Highland Township provides its 19,200 residents with many opportunities for citizens to get involved in local government, school systems and other civic-minded organizations.

Highland Township has also made great strides in preserving its unique history. After being founded by pioneer families in the 1830s, Highland flourished with the development of the railroad industry. In an effort to retain its rural character, Highland designated itself an ?equestrian community? in 2003 and received official state recognition three years later.
