Nick's Take
Highwood is part of the inner-north bungalow value tier. For buyers who want the inner-city north corridor, comparing Highwood alongside Highland Park, Tuxedo Park, and Rosemont on specific properties is the right approach. The community name matters less than the specific lot, condition, and price for buyers in this category.
