A place where everybody knows your name
Highwood is known as a destination spot for global fare, entertainment, art, and so much more:
Explore bold art murals, discover home, design, & antique shops, and settle in at our restaurants, pubs, breweries, wine spots, and lounges; indulge in bakeries, salons, and a full calendar of events. You have every reason to stay awhile.
Come work and play with us.
We’re not your mother’s suburb. Highwood is quaint, intentional, charming, and full of cool vibes and spirited personality. We are cosmopolitan - where community, commerce, culture, and celebration meet.
We are “the” scene to be seen.
Family made.
Hand made.
People made.
The fabric of the people that make up Highwood is our point of differentiation. We are family, owner-operator businesses. Our cultural mix makes us eclectic…interesting…fun.
Not only are we known as the culinary mecca of the North Shore, but we’ve got art, live music, cooking classes, wine pairings, and tons of gatherings and events including our brand new restaurant week (EAT. DRINK. HIGHWOOD.), Ladies Night Out, and Design Week.
Going anywhere else, just isn’t fun. But we are.
