About

Highfield is a residential ward located on the western edge of Hemel Hempstead in the Dacorum district. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily from the mid-20th century, including terraced homes and semi-detached properties. Its layout features quiet, tree-lined streets and several small greens, providing a settled suburban environment for its residents. The ward is bordered by open farmland to the west, creating a distinct edge between the town and the rural landscape.

Local amenities are focused along Stoneycroft and nearby parts of Leverstock Green, serving the community's daily needs. The area is home to the Longdean School complex and is adjacent to the playing fields of The Hemel Hempstead School. A notable local landmark is the former Highfield House, a historic farmhouse that now sits within the suburban setting, reflecting the area's transition from countryside to a residential part of the town.
