Parks, schools, dining, and what makes this neighborhood special
Anchoring the neighborhood at 5400 South Highland Springs Boulevard, the private Highland Springs Country Club offers an 18‑hole, par‑72 championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II, along with tennis and pickleball courts, an Olympic‑sized pool, and a striking Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired clubhouse that truly defines Highland Springs’ upscale, recreational-focused character.
Within the country club, the U‑shaped Olympic‑sized pool features a diving board, children’s splash pad, and dual length lanes, plus poolside bar, snack stand, and family‑friendly programming like swim team, movie nights, and water aerobics, making it a standout social and leisure hub in the neighborhood.
Highland Springs is a gated, master‑planned enclave built around the country club, with architecture reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie style and rolling, wooded streets like Castlebay Drive and Stonehaven Drive that showcase lush landscaping, privacy, and a cohesive, upscale aesthetic throughout the neighborhood.
