Highlands NC on List of Coolest Towns
Meadows Mountain Realty, Highlands NC real estate
Highlands NC is on the list of the coolest towns in the state. World Atlas recently published “8 Coolest North Carolina Towns For A Summer Vacation In 2025” and Highlands is the first town mentioned. Of course, this is no surprise to those of us living on the Plateau. Our special mountain community has a great deal to offer, the least of which is a vibrant lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of more urban environments.
Cool and calm
One of the greatest things about Highlands NC in the summer is the temperature. Our lovely area stays in the 70s for the most part, making it the perfect respite for those wanting a break from the high heat and humidity experienced elsewhere in the state and across the nation. Perfect summer temperatures are mentioned in the World Atlas article as a major draw for summer visitors.
So much to do
Highlands NC also has a great variety of activities and amenities to enjoy. The great outdoors is one of the biggest attractions. Whether you want to sit on a porch and soak in the views and fresh mountain air or head out on a hike, enjoying nature is a daily pastime available to all. Great golf, fishing, biking, and boating are also available. There is no shortage of outdoor activities on the Highlands Plateau!
Art and culture
Another fabulous feature of the Highlands NC community is the abundance of culture. From the theater to museums, we seem to have it all. A small town atmosphere accented by a variety of exhibits and classes at the Bascom, plays at the Highlands Performing Arts Center, and live music outdoors make Highlands NC a fantastic summer getaway for all!
