Main-Floor Bedroom and Suite Arrangements

Some Highland Lakes homes are designed with a guest or secondary bedroom on the first floor, which can be useful for accommodating visitors or multi-generational living. Certain plans, such as the “Amber” and “Larimar,” include both a main-level guest suite and a primary suite, providing privacy and convenience for residents who prefer to avoid stairs. Other layouts place all secondary bedrooms upstairs, creating a clear separation between living and sleeping spaces.

Lot Sizes, Outdoor Living, and Garage Options

Lot sizes in Highland Lakes range from more compact parcels to expansive homesites, including cul-de-sac and premium creekside locations. Outdoor living is supported by covered patios—sometimes extended for additional space—and, in select resale homes, mature landscaping and established trees. Garage configurations include both two- and three-car options, and some plans convert tandem garage space into additional bedrooms or living areas. Storage solutions such as mudrooms, spacious laundry rooms, and walk-in closets in primary suites are also found in some homes.

Move-In Ready Upgrades and Special Features

While much of Highland Lakes consists of new construction, some move-in ready homes offer established landscaping, plantation shutters, and upgrades such as jetted tubs, oversized showers, dual vanities, and advanced irrigation systems. These features provide immediate comfort and convenience for buyers seeking a turnkey experience.
