Maintaining a Safe Neighborhood

The Highlawn Neighborhood Association hosts a proactive neighborhood watch program.  Highlawn is a safe, pleasant area of Huntington and home to friendly neighbors who work together to maintain a wonderful place to live. It’s the goal of the Neighborhood Watch to maintain the quality of life and safety of our area.
