North Highland places you on the west side of Fort Wayne, where classic post‑war cottages, brick ranches, and tidy Cape Cods line sidewalks shaded by mature trees. The neighborhood’s everyday rhythm is shaped by nearby campuses and parks—especially the University of Saint Francis, whose arts, athletics, and public events add energy just beyond residents’ front porches.
Families appreciate access to Fort Wayne Community Schools, with magnet and specialty offerings across the district, while weekend enrichment is easy: the Riverfront is minutes away, and the Rivergreenway threads along the St. Marys River for biking, running, and scenic dog walks. A short drive north lands you at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo, a regional favorite in Franke Park that’s perfect for spontaneous afternoon visits or season‑pass adventures.
North Highland’s location simplifies daily life. Commuters reach downtown in minutes, and the arts-and-dining scene in West Central offers everything from craft coffee to gallery nights. Local errands are straightforward, with grocery options and services clustered along State and Spring streets. The neighborhood’s block‑by‑block character—porches, pocket gardens, and long‑time neighbors—adds the kind of continuity people seek when putting down roots in Allen County.
