Highland is a quiet, view-filled pocket of Ajo, where broad skies, desert gardens, and well-kept streets create an easygoing rhythm of life. Morning light washes over stucco and midcentury homes as residents head out for strolls toward the historic town core, weekend markets, and local art spaces. The community’s scale makes everyday errands simple, while the surrounding Sonoran Desert adds a sense of openness you feel from your front porch.
Culture and outdoor discovery are close at hand. The Curley School arts campus, stewarded by the International Sonoran Desert Alliance, anchors creative life in town; explore exhibits, classes, and events through the Curley School arts campus. Day trips lead to the saguaro-studded trails and scenic drives of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and the vast dark skies of Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. For everyday amenities, the Ajo Plaza’s shops and the Ajo District Chamber of Commerce welcome newcomers and longtime residents alike, while the Salazar-Ajo Library offers programs for all ages.
Families appreciate the close-knit feel of the Ajo Unified School District, and health needs are covered by the locally rooted Desert Senita Community Health Center. With services supported by Pima County and quick access to the AZ-85 corridor, Highland balances small-town ease with desert adventure.
