Highlands is a settled residential pocket of Deerfield Beach built around single-family blocks and small communities like Deerfield Beach Island and Newport. It sits in northeast Broward County, close enough to the beach and I-95 to feel connected without the crowds of the barrier island. Families here are drawn to assigned schools including Nova Dwight D. Eisenhower Elem and Nova Blanche Forman Elementary, and the streets keep a quiet, lived-in feel.

For buyers, this is a mid-market neighborhood with real breathing room. The 17 active listings run from $234,500 to $545,000, with a median list price of $456,000, so there's a genuine spread between an entry buy and a fully updated home. Homes are moving at a measured pace — a median of 52 days on market — and sellers are getting about 98% of asking, which tells you pricing is realistic on both sides.

Highlands is a community in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

Highlands FAQs

Is Highlands a good place to live?+

It's a quiet, family-oriented part of Deerfield Beach with an established residential feel and access to well-regarded schools like Nova Blanche Forman Elementary. You're close to the coast and I-95 without living in the busiest beach corridor, which suits buyers who want convenience and calm.

Is Highlands expensive?+

It's a mid-market neighborhood by South Florida standards, with a median list price of $456,000 and homes ranging from $234,500 to $545,000. There's no $1M+ inventory here, so budgets that would be squeezed on the barrier island have more options.

What do homes cost in Highlands?+

The median list price is currently $456,000, and average price runs about $353 per square foot on a median home size near 1,283 square feet. Over the past year, 31 homes sold at a median of $395,000, so recent buyers landed below today's asking levels.

How is the market right now?+

There are 17 active listings and homes are taking a median of 52 days to sell, which is a steady, unhurried pace. Sellers are averaging 98% of asking, so well-priced homes move and buyers still have negotiating room — you can track it all on the live map.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+

Median property tax runs about $6,216 per year, which is typical for Broward County at these price points. HOA data isn't listed for the area's median, so fees vary by community — worth confirming on a specific address before you write an offer.
