A nature conservancy in the backyard
The Highland neighborhood is tucked in the pocket of two major amenities. Both of the neighborhood’s condo developments back up to the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. “It’s a nature preserve with pretty awesome hiking,” LeGrand says. “Some of it’s paved, so you can use it year-round. You can kind of get everywhere in Middleton on the trails.” Behind the single-family homes is the John C. Bock Community Forest. A great place to connect with nature, the 19.2-acre woodland area offers miles of hiking and biking trails and paths for dog walking. Aspiring gardeners can flex their green thumb at Bock Community Garden. Opened in 2009, Bock Community Garden offers members a 200-square-foot plot of land to plant flowers or food. Beginners need not worry; the garden offers tutorials throughout the season. And with quick access to Lake Medonta, outdoor adventure is never far away; locals love to rent boats or kayaks at Marshall Park and head out on the lake or cast a line and try to catch some of the local fish.
As an alternative to single-family homes, Highland offers Woodcreek Village Condominiums.
