About location

The landscape around Highland Lakes is low-lying and densely urbanized, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This residential area in northern Miami-Dade County forms part of South Florida’s Atlantic coastal plain, where broad roads and mature tree cover sit alongside suburban development. Interstate 95 is a defining regional corridor, linking the area with Miami, Fort Lauderdale and communities across southeast Florida. Highland Lakes is close to Aventura, whose retail districts and taller buildings contrast with the neighborhood’s lower-scale homes. The wider setting reflects Greater Miami’s postwar growth around automobiles, expressways and access to the coast.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
