For the first time ever, the HHCO surveyed our neighborhood, and we learned some wonderful things. A total of 26 out of the 71 homes answered the survey (37%), which is a good response for our first-ever attempt.
One interesting piece of data was that 50% of families enter and exit Huntington Highlands driving through our “official” entrance on 184th Place (where our entrance gate and sign are). The other 50% enter from other roads.
More than anything, the survey showed that people overwhelmingly like our community and want it to be more… neighborly! That said, people’s primary concerns appear to be around: crime, loud dogs, and home/garden upkeep.
Some personal comments include:
- “Develop a way to encourage all residents to maintain their properties with general home and yard upkeep.”
- “It’s beautiful, safe and relaxing. Lots of trees and no fences”
- “Great walking neighborhood, friendly, pretty quiet, well kept up.”

Hello Huntington Highlands neighbors,
This is just an FYI for those of you living on a cul-de-sac. If you the round about at the end of your road has been damaged by the Waste Management trucks and is in need of repair, as ours is, do not hesitate to contact Waste Management for repairs….they are insured for this ( if you see any of their trucks running up over the curbing try to identify which pick up service truck it is…yard waste, recycle or garbage) as they will accept claims. Our cul-de-sac is in the process of this repair, but take note that the insurance will only pay for the portion that their trucks damaged and not the entire round about and you will be asked to get bids and provide an itemized list listing labor and materials separate. The process is inconvenient but it will get your damaged round about repaired—-until the WM drivers ruin it again.
Anyway, just thought I would share this and if anyone needs the number of the guy I had to contact at WM to get the ball rolling let me know and I will provide the details….just email me at debbie@mccarten.org.
have a nice day.
