High Point Terrace is neighborhood southeast of Highland Heights. The neighborhood's development began in 1919 but early development was slow. Fewer than 200 homes were built in the initial phase of development and many of those homes were demolished to make room for Sam Cooper Boulevard. Most of the High Point Terrace homes standing today were built in the Minimal Traditional style between 1940 and 1950. These modest homes are still well-maintained and typically fetch top-dollar for their size.
