“My family lives in the home my parents built in 1960. Several of our neighbors knew me as a child, and have been so welcoming to our children. We have a Memorial Day picnic each year at our home and go caroling at Christmas. I can’t imagine better neighbors than ours.
“Our children’s activities are only minutes away, no matter which end of the city they are on. We can walk to downtown shopping, schools, city pools, church, and library, or ride our bikes if we are in a hurry!
“We are pleased to enjoy the schools and community life of Oak Ridge, especially in the centrally located Highland View neighborhood.”

Overlooking the center of town, Highland View is an eclectic neighborhood, currently part of the Manhattan District redevelopment plan. It features a wide range of housing options including duplexes and apartments of the original war-time constructions, as well as single family neighborhoods with newer homes.
This neighborhood is home to one of the city’s most active neighborhood associations, the North Ridge Trail greenway, the Children’s Museum—including a brand-new neighborhood playground, and the shops at Grove Center. Historic homes are nestled along the tree-rich hillside, yet are only minutes from the convenience of the center city.
Houses range in size from 1,200 square feet to 1,900 square feet. Prices range from $69,000 to $99,900.*
