Highlands

A great place to call home in West Edina!

Welcome to Highlands

Highlands is an established residential neighborhood in western Edina with just over 300 single-family homes centered around Highlands Park and Highlands Elementary School. Distinctive entrances along Ayrshire Boulevard and Mirror Lakes Boulevard help give the neighborhood a defined sense of place, while rolling terrain, mature trees, ponds and low-lying natural areas create a setting unlike many other parts of Edina. Highlands Park provides approximately 40 acres of green space, athletic fields, playground facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, a pond and seasonal recreation.

Much of Highlands was developed during the 1950s and 1960s, with classic ramblers and traditional two-story homes still forming an important part of its character. Renovations, additions and luxury new construction have expanded the housing mix considerably, including substantial luxury residences with frontage along Mirror Lakes and the grounds of Interlachen Country Club. This range of architecture, combined with differences in lot size, elevation, views and setting, creates meaningful variation from one property to another and gives Highlands a distinctive place within Edina's luxury housing market.

Buyers exploring Highlands often review Edina homes for sale to understand how pricing, availability, and market activity in this area compare with other neighborhoods across Edina.
