Highland Apartments — They're Charging a Lot, Is It Earned?
Highland sits close to ACC Highland, MetroRail, and North Lamar, which makes it a dense pocket for apartment hunters comparing amenities against management quality. The picks below come from resident reviews scored using our methodology, weighing leasing experience, maintenance speed, and how well each property handles problems once you've signed a lease.
Most complexes here sit within walking distance of ACC Highland, the MetroRail line, or North Lamar's restaurants and 99 Ranch Market, so location scores are consistently strong across the area. The real differences show up in how each property handles security, pest issues, and maintenance backlogs once the initial lease-up shine wears off.
