About North

Highlands

North Highlands, located between North Anthony Boulevard and Crescent Avenue, is a residential and park-adjacent Fort Wayne neighborhood with curving streets and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Anthony Boulevard corridor near East State Boulevard, where corner storefronts, local eateries, and steady traffic set an urban edge against quiet side streets. Early- to mid-century houses—brick ranches, Cape Cods, and tidy bungalows—give the blocks a consistent, lived-in rhythm. Franke Park’s trails and open lawns shape daily routines, while the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo adds a playful landmark nearby. The Fort Wayne Museum of Art and the historic Embassy Theatre bring gallery nights and marquee-lit evenings within a short drive.
