Edit
Perched on a high bluff above Sandy Hook Bay, Highlands, New Jersey offers something rare for a two-square-mile borough: the feeling of a close-knit waterfront town within commuting distance of Manhattan. The Zombie Parade and Pub Crawl and the annual Clamfest are longstanding local traditions that give the borough its spirited, shore-town personality year-round. The Seastreak Ferry connects residents directly to New York City, making this small Monmouth County community an appealing base for those who want coastal living without sacrificing access to one of the world's great cities.
Highlands has an identity shaped by its geography. The eastern bluff, home to the historic Navesink Twin Lights, frames sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and New York Harbor. The borough sits alongside Hartshorne Woods and Sandy Hook, giving the surrounding landscape an open, unhurried character that contrasts with the density found deeper in the metro area.
