Highland Park is located along the Arroyo Seco.  Its boundaries are roughly the Pasadena Freeway (California Route 110) and South Pasadena on the southeast, Pasadena on the east, Oak Grove Drive on the north, and Avenue 50/51 on the west. The district's neighbors include Mt. Washington on the southwest, Montecito Heights on the south, Hermon and Monterey Hills on the southeast, Pasadena and South Pasadena on the northeast, Eagle Rock on the north, and Glassell Park on the west.

During the 1950s and 1960s, many of Highland Park's grandest and oldest homes were razed. Witness, for example, Heritage Square: a Highland Park museum started by local Los Angeles activists hoping to save some of the Victorian homes which were scheduled for demolition to make room for gas stations and parking lots.

Before the rise of Southern California housing prices from 2002–2005, many arrived to Highland Park to seek out, buy, and revitalize Craftsman homes, some which had suffered neglect over the decades. Although this quiet movement continues, Highland Park has not undergone the dramatic changes that Echo Park and Eagle Rock have experienced. The district's proximity to those neighborhoods (coupled with low rents), have made it increasingly popular among "hipsters".

In the 2010s, gentrification and "house flipping" has occurred in Highland Park, yielding increases in property values in a neighborhood that is still quite affordable.
