Highland Park

Preston Road and Armstrong Drive is a great jumping off point to cruise the streets of one of the most prestigious neighborhoods around.  Beverly, Hunters Glen, and Lakeside Drive have some of the most exquisite home displays around.  Book a carriage ride in advance and be sure to bring a thermos with warm apple cider and a warm quilt to tour the lights al fresco.
