Highwood, IL Apartments for Rent
Highwood packs remarkable energy into just one square mile of Lake County's North Shore, drawing renters who want a close-knit, walkable community without the price tag of neighboring Highland Park or Lake Forest. Green Bay Road and Waukegan Avenue form the lively commercial core, while the Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve anchors the northern edge and the Exmoor Country Club marks the south, bookending the city with open space. Renters will find a practical mix of multi-family apartment communities, condos, and single-family homes scattered across the city's walkable grid.
The housing stock reflects the area's village-scale density, making it accessible compared to surrounding communities. Metra's Union Pacific North Line stops right in Highwood, putting downtown Chicago within commuting reach and Lake Forest College just minutes away. Whether you're drawn by the accessible North Shore location, the spirited local dining scene, or the rare combination of outdoor access and easy rail connections, Highwood offers a grounded, well-connected place to call home.
