Learn more about what Highland Lakes has to offer.
Highland Lakes offers residents a close-knit community with beautiful lakes, abundant outdoor recreation, and convenient access to amenities in a peaceful, scenic setting.
Highland Lakes immediately feels different from nearby destinations like Vernon or Sussex. Centered around a chain of private lakes with wooded hillsides and winding local roads, it has a strong sense of resident ownership and community involvement that shapes daily life and property values.
The area revolves around membership in the Highland Lakes Country Club and Community Association, which manages beaches, boating, and year round activities. Summer days are often spent at the club’s waterfronts or at nearby Wawayanda State Park, where residents hike, paddle, or cross country ski. Families appreciate access to Lounsberry Hollow School and Glen Meadow Middle School in the Vernon Township district, as well as local programming at the Vernon Township Library.
Although Highland Lakes feels secluded, everyday needs are close. Dining and errands often center around McAfee and Hamburg, with bigger shopping and services in Newton. Commuters frequently connect through Warwick toward Orange County or south toward Rockaway and the interstate corridors.
Because homes range from seasonal cottages to year round lakefronts, timing and preparation are crucial. Whether you are getting a property market ready or hoping to secure the right house before summer, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Highland Lakes real estate professional who understands the community and can guide both buyers and sellers with confidence.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.
