Area-specific quirks

What makes Highland East different

Established 1990s-2000s neighborhood — homes predate the 2014 wind-load amendments. New additions must meet post-2014 standards. Lot sizes are typically standard R-1 (7,000-9,000 sq ft) with rear-yard space for storm shelter installation. Many original HVAC systems are reaching end of life, driving change-out volume.
