Feature: Highland Park

Highland Park
LaGrange, Georgia
10 August, 2004

Highland Park, on Lakeshore Drive between West Point Lake and the Highland Country Club, is a new 93 acre, ultra-low-density residential environment that has been planned with the highest value placed on the preservation of nature and the fostering of a strong family and community culture.

Its 75, approximately one-acre, lots have been carefully sited amongst a 5-acre park, a 7-acre nature preserve, an athletic field, and a series of hiking trails that allow residents to explore and enjoy all elements of the development’s natural environment. A unique, dedicated garage-access lane system separates automobile and pedestrian traffic, and follows a minimum footprint plan that is designed to preserve the beautiful old-growth forest that covers the rolling hills making up the development.

Conveniently located in the Lagrange High school district, bounded by West Point Lake to the north and the Highland County Club golf course to the south, the quality tone of the neighborhood will be set by an infrastructure including a beautiful stone entry, stone curbs and bridges, wide winding sidewalks and amenities like a community boat dock on West Point Lake, and direct access to the Highland Country Club golf course.

Underscoring Highland Park’s focus on preservation, is the
construction of a non-denominational chapel and community building to be located adjacent to the athletic field in the middle of the development’s namesake central park. The chapel, constructed of timber reclaimed from the towering loblolly pines that cover Highland Park will be a source of beauty and inspiration to be preserved and enjoyed for generations to come.

Take County Club road past Hollis Hand Elementary School, take a left on County Club Drive then left onto LakeShore Drive.

Lots are available now.
