Highland Lakes, located between Lake Griffin and Lake Harris, is a lakeside and residential Leesburg neighborhood with winding canal-front streets and broad water views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Griffin Road corridor near the Lake-Sumter State College Leesburg Campus, where commuter traffic meets a practical mix of local eateries, service storefronts, and campus energy. Housing reads as Florida ranches and contemporary builds, with screened lanais and palms framing driveways. Water access shapes daily rhythms, from boat ramps to shoreline parks. Downtown Leesburg’s brick streets and festivals sit a short drive away, adding galleries and live-music nights to the calendar. Trails and conservation land nearby keep the landscape feeling open and green.
