It is home to the highest point in Brevard County, listed by the USGS as being 83 feet (25 m) above[1] sea level at its apex.

High Point

High Point consists of businesses, such as hotels and office buildings on its western side and homes built in the 1960s and 1970s on its eastern side, as the hill makes its steep descent to the bank of the Indian River. Recently there has been some new development in the area, although unused land is scarce.[4]
