About Highland Parks

Highland Parks is a hillside address, and federal elevation data settles how much of one. Sampled on a grid across the plat, the ground runs from about 31 feet above sea level at the low corner to about 55 feet at the high one, while the crossing of County Road 83 and Scenic 30A, a little over half a mile south, measures at sea level. That fall explains the street names the developer chose, Gulfview and Emerald Beach, and it also explains why the flood map treats this ground differently from the beach blocks below. Read against the parcel outlines rather than against a point inside each one, the county's flood layer puts most of this plat in Zone X, outside the one percent annual chance floodplain, and runs a Zone A boundary across six lots at the Emerald Beach Circle and Emerald Beach Way end of the subdivision, every one of them carrying a finished house, so the designation is an address by address question here rather than a community wide one. The plat holds 170 lots across about 17.2 acres, 164 of them carrying a finished house on the county roll, with completion years running from 2011 to 2024 and clustering hard in the second half of the twenty tens. Heated living area averages roughly 2,538 square feet, so the houses are full sized on compact ground rather than cottage scaled. Two boundaries shape the setting more than any facility does. Point Washington State Forest is mapped hard against the subdivision's edge, which fixes what can happen on that side. And the county's adopted neighborhood plan overlays all stop short of it: the nearest, Blue Mountain Beach, ends about 2,265 feet away, so countywide rules govern here, including the South Walton area's 50 foot height limit.
