About Highwood
Less than a square mile in size, Highwood is one of the smallest cities in Illinois yet one of the North Shore's liveliest. It grew up alongside Fort Sheridan, the army post established in 1887, and many of its early residents were Italian immigrants, many from the Modena region, whose influence is still felt in the city's family traditions and dining scene. Green Bay Road and Sheridan Road run through town, and the Highwood Metra station on the Union Pacific North line puts downtown within easy reach of Chicago. The city is known for its restaurants, summer street events and a friendly, walkable feel. Surrounded by Highland Park and Lake Forest, Highwood offers a more compact, historic housing stock close to the lakefront and the former Fort Sheridan.

Housing in Highwood
Highwood's homes are mostly older and compact: early 1900s frame houses, workers' cottages, bungalows and two-flats on small lots, along with some newer infill homes and townhomes. Many older houses have narrow kitchens and basement laundry reached by steep stairs, and two-flats may have shared or separate basement laundry areas. Space is tight, so counter-depth refrigerators, slim dishwashers and stacked laundry are often chosen during remodels. Newer infill townhomes tend to have main-floor laundry and modern kitchens.
Appliance Repair in Highwood: What to Know
Highwood's tap water comes from Lake Michigan, so it is relatively soft. The main appliance challenges come from the city's older, compact homes: tight kitchen spaces, older gas lines to ranges and dryers, and basement laundry areas with aging drains. Compact and specialty appliances used to save space sometimes require specific parts, so knowing the exact model helps. Two-flats can add shared laundry complications.
Many Highwood homes have narrow kitchens and basement laundry areas with low clearance. Before a repair visit, move anything stored beside or on top of the appliance and make sure there is enough room to pull it forward a foot or two from the wall.
