About Highland Park
Highland Park is an extremely small incorporated village wrapped around Lake Easy, with just 251 residents in the 2020 census and about half its area in water. Housing is a quiet loop of modest lake cottages and ranch homes — essentially a residential enclave rather than a town with services. The vibe is private and lake-quiet; daily life orients to nearby Lake Wales, with Crooked Lake and Babson Park close by.
