    What's special

    Built in 1947, Highland Towers first opened its doors for modern apartment leasing in 1951. This building is rich with history, and hosts some of the best views of the city. With affordable apartments, you can easily get out and enjoy the city and all it has to offer without over extending that budget. Managed professionally by Farris Properties, which is a locally owned and operated management company, the property has seen some renovations and improvements over the last few years, with changes progressing every year. Highland Towers gets better with age!
