History of Highlands Ridge

In the heart of central Florida, where fragrant orange blossoms mingle with warm breezes, there lies a special place: Highlands Ridge.

 

In 1988, John Juve and his partners envisioned the development of a vibrant retirement community nestled between the established cities of Avon Park and Sebring.  By 1990 their vision became reality and the agricultural landscape was transformed into the beautiful Highlands Ridge community.  Boasting both manufactured and single-family homes, the community became a sought-after destination for retirees from all walks of life.

 

Highlands Ridge offers a wealth of amenities tailored to an active and fulfilling lifestyle. These amenities include golf on well-manicured courses, swimming in sparkling swimming pools, lively pickleball matches, and established social clubs that celebrate a variety of shared interests and hobbies.  Each new face choosing Highlands Ridge as their home adds a layer of diversity and vibrancy to the community.

 

Today, many original residents still call Highlands Ridge home. As you stroll through the community, you feel the undeniable spirit of togetherness and camaraderie. A simple wave and a friendly smile will lead you on a journey filled with cherished memories and lasting friendships.

 

Highlands Ridge is more than a place to live ... it is a paradise where you can create the retirement lifestyle you've always dreamed of.
