About Highland
Park
Highland Park, located between Downtown Altoona and Lakemont, is a residential and park-adjacent Altoona neighborhood with hillside streets and early-20th-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highland Park overlook and reservoir paths, where walkers, runners, and sunset-watchers set the daily rhythm. Brick colonials and tidy foursquares line curving blocks, with porches facing mature trees and small pocket lawns. The nearby Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum adds a strong local narrative, while the Mishler Theatre brings marquee-lit evenings downtown. Lakemont Park’s rides and picnic grounds sit close by, giving weekends a classic, outdoors-forward cadence.
