Highland Park continues to draw attention from homebuyers, landing at number eight on our latest suburb rankings. The market here offers a mix of older fixer-uppers and newer constructions, with prices that reflect the area's growing desirability. Currently, listings range from modest three-bedroom bungalows priced around $450,000 to larger four-bedroom homes with updated kitchens and finished basements, often hitting the $700,000 mark.
What stands out is the variety. Some properties sit on generous lots with mature trees, appealing to families looking for space. Others are closer to the downtown strip, where walkability to coffee shops and the local library is a major draw. Realtors note that homes in the $550,000 to $650,000 range are moving fastest, often receiving multiple offers within the first week. Sellers are generally getting close to asking price, though bidding wars are less common than they were a year ago.
For buyers, the trade-off often comes down to renovation needs versus move-in readiness. A few fixer-uppers have hit the market recently, priced under $400,000, but they require significant work. On the higher end, some homes feature recent upgrades like new roofing, energy-efficient windows, and updated plumbing. Inventory remains tight, with about a month's supply on hand. That keeps pressure on buyers to act quickly when a good match appears.
Highland Park offers a solid mix for different budgets, though the sweet spot seems to be the mid-range homes that balance location and condition.
