About Cumberland Highlands

Cumberland Highlands sits on Mount Prospect Road between Central and Northwest Highway — late-1950s homes in the Cumberland Metra station's orbit, sharing the commuter neighborhood's walk-to-train appeal.

The tight 1957-60 construction window gives the neighborhood its cohesive character, and the station keeps its value logic simple.
