If you want to know where something is
located in Highland Heights, you may want
to ask one of the construction workers
you're bound to run into. They know the
community pretty well since over the past
few years, it seems hard-hatted men and
women are everywhere, constantly building
new homes in the growing residential
community. Single family homes are
multiplying in Highland Woods East,
Highland Woods Northeast, Glen Eden,
Aberdeen West and Aberdeen. The area is
attractive to families looking to live close to
downtown Cleveland, but still wanting the
homey feel of suburbia.
Highland Heights is located in Cuyahoga County
approximately 12 miles east of downtown, occupying
an area of approximately 5.2 square miles. The
municipal boundaries are Lake County on the north,
Mayfield Village on the east, the cities of Mayfield
Heights and Lyndhurst on the south and the City of
Richmond Heights on the west.
The city celebrated its 80th Anniversary in May of
2000. In those 80 years, Highland Heights has grown
into a vibrant community with lots to offer in the areas of
recreation, shopping, business and industry and services.
Families can take advantage of the Highland Heights
Community Park, located at 5905 Wilson Mills Road. The
32-acre park contains a swimming pool with a baby pool,
diving area and bath house. A wide range of swimming
lessons are offered as well as open swimming, June through
September. There are eight tennis courts, four lighted for
late night players. An extensive baseball program is played
on seven baseball diamonds (six lighted). For the younger
base players, there's T-Ball for 5 and 6 year olds. Families
take advantage of the popular Day Camp program offered
each summer for children between the ages of 5 and 12.
Hoopsters will find basketball courts located in the center of
the park.
There are two covered pavilions for large parties or picnic
groups as well as picnic tables and grilling facilities
throughout the park. As the city's population grows, land is
available to expand the park. A small plot of land located
in the Highland Woods Development west of Miner Road
has been developed into a picnic area.
The Highland Heights Community Center, adjacent to City
Hall, is used by civic and community groups free of charge.
It is available to residents of the community for their own
private and personal parties for a rental fee, but get your
name in early as rooms are rented on a first-come,
first-serve basis.
And, if shopping is your thing, you don't have to go far.
There are several small neighborhood convenience shopping
areas located in the city. Richmond Town Center, as well as other
area malls with first-class department stores and specialty
shops are adjacent to Highland Heights via Interstate 271.
Smaller shopping centers with a variety of merchants are
within ten minutes of the community.
