About Highland

Highland is a Lake County town in northwest Indiana, part of the Chicago metropolitan area and close to Munster, Hammond, and Griffith. It is a mature suburban community rather than a rural town, with residential neighborhoods, local parks, schools, and commercial corridors tied to the broader Calumet Region. Highland's practical identity comes from its location: close to Chicago and the industrial south shore of Lake Michigan, but organized around local civic life and everyday suburban routines.
