Highlands sits in the heart of Indian River County's Vero Beach, an area known for its Atlantic beaches and unhurried pace. It's a practical, single-family neighborhood where homes run modest in size and the surrounding communities — from Vero Lake Estates to Grand Harbor, Vista Royale, and Pointe West — give buyers a range of styles within easy reach. Families here are assigned to Vero Beach High School and Oslo Middle School, keeping schooling close to home.
For a buyer today, this is one of the more accessible pockets of the broader Vero Beach homes for sale market. With just 10 active listings and a median list price of $282,450, inventory is tight but priced within reach, and homes are moving at a steady 46-day pace. Nearly a third of active homes come with a pool, and sellers are still capturing 98% of asking — a balanced market rather than a frenzied one.
Highlands is a community in Vero Beach, Florida.
