About Highwood, IL
Highwood (ZIP 60040) is a compact, historic North Shore city of ~5,400 known for its Italian-American heritage and dense blocks of early-1900s brick worker housing along Green Bay Road
The city's row-house style brick homes feature shared walls, common chimneys, and party-wall masonry that requires careful coordination when tuckpointing or making structural repairs
Highwood's commercial district on Sheridan Road and Green Bay Road has historic brick storefronts with decorative terra cotta, limestone trim, and ornamental cornices needing specialized preservation
The city's compact lots and proximity to the Metra UP-North line mean construction access is often tight — RCC's experienced crews navigate narrow driveways and limited staging areas efficiently
