The Highlands

The Highlands is one of the most prestigious gated communities in the Pacific Northwest, featuring expansive estates on large forested lots with sweeping views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and the Seattle skyline. With a median price of $2,500,000 and just 7 days on market, demand among high-net-worth buyers remains fierce despite the ultra-luxury price point. The community's exclusivity, impeccable landscaping, and private amenities make it singular in the Shoreline market.

The Highlands is entirely car-dependent by design, prioritizing privacy, security, and natural beauty over urban convenience. Residents enjoy private amenities including a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, and miles of wooded trails within the gated grounds. The community attracts executives, professionals, and established families who value seclusion minutes from Seattle.
