Apartments for Rent in Highland Township MI

Highland Township holds a distinction no other Michigan community can claim: it was the state's first officially designated equestrian community, a title officially earned in 2006 to protect the horse farms, open fields, and character that set it apart from the rest of Metro Detroit's western suburbs. Spread across 37 square miles in Oakland County, the township sits roughly halfway between Lansing and Detroit -- about an hour's drive to either city and just 40 minutes to Ann Arbor.

More than 25 lakes dot the landscape, and nearly 6,000 acres of state recreation land wrap around the community, making outdoor life a constant part of the daily routine. Milford Road serves as the main commercial corridor, with shops, dining, and grocery options close at hand. There are a few apartment communities in the area, alongisde neighborhoods of rental homes and townhomes. Founded in 1835, the township built its early economy on lumber and pickle production, with railroad access helping ship goods outward.
