The Highlands- A Premier Master Planned Community Just North of Tuscaloosa

Located on Highway 69 North in Northport, Alabama, The Highlands is a 160-acre master-planned community with 336 single-family homes in one of West Alabama’s most desirable residential corridors. Just 10 minutes from Downtown Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama, it offers suburban tranquility with convenient access to schools, healthcare, and major employers.

Northport’s population is growing as buyers seek affordability, safety, and quality of life. Served by Tuscaloosa County Schools—including Northport Elementary, Collins-Riverside Middle, and Tuscaloosa County High—residents also benefit from ongoing city investments in infrastructure, parks, and road improvements.

The Highlands will feature 400 new homes with varied lot sizes and architectural styles designed for a wide range of buyers. Residents will enjoy modern amenities, including a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball courts, walking trails, and scenic green spaces. Future plans include neighborhood retail and enhanced walkability to create a lifestyle-focused, connected community.

This development reflects DDB Capital’s mission to deliver “inspired living” in high-upside, underappreciated markets. With The Highlands we are creating a flagship community in one of Alabama’s fastest-growing metros—positioning our partners to benefit from both near-term demand and long-term value creation.
