About this Neighborhood

Highlands wears its green heart openly, with a remarkable 17 parks threading through a neighborhood whose four restaurants punch above their number at a 4.6 average. The tone is neighborly and creative, from the cafe-and-provisions charm of Bodega Highlands to the long-running comfort of Uncle Ed's Restaurant. This is a place where the outdoors and the corner store carry the day, with a bookstore, cafe and ice cream parlor filling out the leisure and six grocers handling the essentials. Fox Burger gives the block a casual anchor, and the whole area reads as quiet, leafy and community-minded.
