The Highlands FAQs
Is The Highlands a good place to live?+
It's a settled Lake Mary neighborhood zoned for well-regarded schools including Lake Mary High and Lake Mary Elementary. The commute is manageable — roughly 25 minutes to downtown Orlando and 35 to Universal — which makes it practical for a range of buyers. Low turnover, with only six sales in the last year, is usually a good sign about how people feel about living here.
Is The Highlands expensive?+
It sits in a mid-to-upper range for the area, with a median sold price of $427,500 over the past 12 months. That's a comfortable Lake Mary price point rather than a luxury one, and worth comparing against neighboring communities like Fountain Parke. Because inventory is thin, pricing can move quickly when a home does list.
What do homes cost in The Highlands?+
The median sold price over the last 12 months was $427,500 across six transactions. There are no active listings at the moment, so recent sales are your best guide to value. When homes do come up, sellers have been securing about 98% of asking.
How is the market in The Highlands?+
It's a low-inventory market — zero active listings today and just six homes sold in the past year. Sellers averaged 98% of asking, which tells you demand is steady and well-priced homes don't linger. Buyers should be ready to act fast and may want to watch nearby Lake Mary homes for sale in the meantime.
What about HOA fees, taxes, and renting?+
Specific HOA and property tax figures aren't available for The Highlands right now, so confirm those on any individual listing before you commit. On the rental side, the median rent runs about $3,200 a month. If you're weighing buying versus renting, that number gives you a useful benchmark against a roughly $427,500 purchase.
