What housing does Highland's 2026 development map list?

If you’re looking at a Highland home near vacant land or a major road, the City’s development map gives you a place to start checking what’s listed nearby. The City of Highland’s 2026 Community Development Activity Map lists single-family homes, apartments, townhomes and mixed use projects. It does not establish that those projects are approved or will be built.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice.

What does the map actually tell you?

The map tells you the project names, map identifiers and descriptions the City lists, with a separate table for the individual entries.

Start with the City’s Development Activity page, which links to the 2026 Community Development Activity Map. The PDF contains a map and a table. Its legend uses Residential, Commercial and Greenspot Specific Plan categories. Those categories help you read the graphic; they don’t supply approval information.

Read the table after locating the lot. A residential label alone doesn’t tell you whether an entry describes detached homes, condos or apartments. The project description makes that distinction.

The map does not establish whether every listed project remains active or has been built. That’s the uncertainty to resolve with Highland Planning before relying on an entry for a purchase decision.

A Highland buyer asked us about several projects shown near a home on the city’s 2026 development map. She was treating every marked site as a project that would soon be under construction. We went through the individual statuses because a development map can include applications, approved projects and sites at very different stages.

Which single-family projects does it list?

The City’s map lists several single-family and detached housing projects, with a separate unit count for each entry.

Row A, D.R. Horton / Mediterra Residential Community, lists 149 single-family residential units with a park and trails. Row E, KB Homes, lists 79 single-family detached residential units. Row G, Monte Vista Homes, lists 18 single-family residential units.

Row J needs particular care: Thompson Homes is marked “preliminary”, and its description lists 15 single-family units as “conceptual”. Keep those words attached to the entry when discussing it.

Other entries include:

• U, Glenrose Ranch Planned Development: 121 single-family residential units with recreational facilities.
• V, Wood Bridge Planned Development: 130 single-family residential units with recreational facilities.
• W, East Highlands Ranch PA 39: 13 single-family residential units.
• X, East Highlands Ranch PA 40/42: 137 detached single-family units.
• Z, Highland Park Homes/Century Homes: 42 single-family residential units.
• 2, Beazer Homes: 54 single-family residential units.
• 7, Crestwood: 35 single-family residential units.
• 25, Residential: 113 single-family homes.

These are individual descriptions, not a basis for a citywide housing total. The map doesn’t resolve whether rows overlap, and it doesn’t give their approval statuses.

Are all the listed homes detached?

No, the map also lists attached single-family units, apartments and townhomes.

Row 4, Highland 50, describes 50 “attached” single-family units and identifies them as condos. That wording matters if you’re using the map to understand the type of housing listed for a parcel. A single-family description doesn’t always mean a detached home.

Row C, Halcyon, lists 220 apartments, including 11 affordable units. Row F, Baseline Village Apartments, describes a 40-unit, 2-story apartment building. Row H, City Housing Authority - Affordable Senior Housing, lists approximately 90 affordable senior apartments. Those are the City’s project descriptions; they don’t establish who will live there.

Keep the housing type separate from ownership costs. The map gives no HOA information, including for Highland 50. If you’re considering a property with an association, use the California HOA disclosure guide to prepare a separate document review. A description in this PDF doesn’t answer the questions those disclosures address.

What are rows P.2 to P.5 on the map?

Rows P.2 to P.5 are housing entries numbered in the same series as item P, Costco: Warehouse/Gas Station; the table does not say how they relate to the Costco entry.

The housing entries have their own identifiers and names:

• P.2, San Carlo I Townhome Apartments: 200 2-story townhomes.
• P.3, Prose Residential Community: 294 garden apartment units and 217 townhomes.
• P.4, The Residence at Greenspot: 200 residential multi-family units.
• P.5, San Carlo II Phase 2: 272 residential multi-family units.

Don’t treat every entry in the P series as a commercial description. Find the identifier in the table. The table also lists Greenspot Crossings Center at P.1 as a 90,000 sq. ft. retail center.

What do the mixed use and vacant-land entries say?

The mixed use entries list housing alongside commercial space, while the vacant-property entry gives a lot size and zoning designation.

Row K, Smart & Final / Mixed Use, describes a 27,500 sq. ft. retail building and a 2.9 acre vacant mixed use lot, with 34 housing units. Row 14, Tractor Supply & Mixed Use Project, lists an 18,800 sq. ft. tractor supply store, 21 multi-family units and 2 single-family residences. Neither description supplies a construction schedule or approval status.

Row S, Walmart’s Vacant Property, lists an approximately 19.87 acre lot zoned Planned Development (PD). It does not describe a housing project for that lot.

For that parcel, check what the PD zoning allows and ask whether the map category matches the parcel’s zone. A vacant lot entry and a residential project entry provide different information. Don’t turn the lot’s size or zoning label into a claim about a particular development.

Does the same map list warehouses?

Yes, the same map lists warehouses and distribution facilities alongside its housing entries.

Row M, Industrial Uses/Postal Service & Fencing Contractor, lists warehouse space of 33,750 sq. ft. and 121,300 sq. ft. Row 1, Crow Holdings East & West, lists warehouses of 155,000 and 243,000 sq. ft. Row 3, Lovett Warehouse, lists a 285,000 sq. ft. warehouse, and row 13, Patriot Partners Warehouse, lists a 306,000 sq. ft. distribution facility.

Those entries are another reason to read the individual row instead of assuming every marked site concerns housing. For a separate discussion involving another city, see buying near warehouses in Perris. Keep Highland’s parcel and project questions with Highland Planning.

What should you check before making an offer?

You should confirm the project record, parcel zoning and current listing with Highland Planning before relying on the map.

Find the lot on the graphic, then read its table entry. Bring the map identifier and project name into your inquiry. Ask whether there is an application, an approval or nothing yet, and whether a hearing notice has gone out. Check the zoning separately from the legend’s category.

Recheck the Development Activity page before making an offer. The map is a PDF, not a live list, and it provides no project schedules or prices.

It also provides no special-tax information. Keep that review separate using the Mello-Roos guide and the California supplemental property tax bill guide. A project description doesn’t replace checking the costs associated with the property you’re considering.

The short version

Highland’s 2026 map lists housing descriptions that you can use to frame specific questions about a parcel.

Read the map identifier, project name and full description together. Preserve “preliminary” and “conceptual” where the City uses them, and confirm each project’s record with Highland Planning. The PDF gives you listed unit counts and housing types, but it doesn’t give approval statuses, schedules or purchase costs.
