About Highlands
Kirkland Highlands is a quiet hillside residential community on the plateau above Downtown Kirkland — a neighborhood with a settled, long-established character and consistent single-family housing stock from the 1960s through 1990s. It is a reliable choice for buyers who want Lake Washington School District quality and close-in Kirkland positioning without paying the waterfront premium.
The neighborhood's main appeal is its combination of competitive pricing within a premium school district and quick access to Downtown Kirkland's dining, waterfront parks, and amenities. Most buyers here are families and long-term residents who value community stability over neighborhood prestige.
