Why Live in North Highlands Historic District
North Highlands Historic District in Macon-Bibb is characterized by its thick tree canopy and curving streets lined with sidewalks. The neighborhood is known for its early 20th-century and revival-style homes, though most available properties are renovated Craftsman bungalows, brick cottages, or ranch-style houses from the early 1900s. North Highlands Park, a 28-acre space, was revitalized in 2023 and now features swings, a half basketball court, a walking and biking trail, and picnic tables, making it a popular spot for families. Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, located 2 miles south, offers a glimpse into prehistoric Native American history and is set to become Georgia’s first National Park. Downtown Macon, just a mile away, provides numerous things to do, including live music at Grant’s Lounge and dining at over 50 restaurants such as Sweet Eleanor’s and Ocmulgee Brewpub. For daily needs, a Kroger is conveniently located less than a mile away. The North Highlands Neighborhood Association organizes community events like clean-ups, porch socials, and book clubs. The neighborhood's proximity to Downtown Macon, Piedmont Macon hospital, and major highways like I-75 and I-16 makes it a practical choice for residents.
