The cities of Highland and East Highlands are calculatedly, but unofficially divided just along Boulder Avenue which travels north and south, concluding on Highland Avenue just affront a local retail shopping center. The higher-income area of residences resting upon the foothills to the east account for the location's wealthier classed individuals while the lower-income areas traverse at a 3-4% grade downhill westward; a span of 4.8 miles into what will eventually become San Bernardino. Demographics such as income levels and housing density are also split evenly by the geographic divider of Boulder Avenue. Much of western Highland is significantly older and mirrors many of nearby San Bernardino's underprivileged shanty town locales, while significant development of the East Highlands portion of the city did not officially begin until the early 1990s and are consistent of ever-gentrifying, higher-end, upper-middle class suburban developments evocative Rancho Cucamonga and/or newly-built Eastvale, California while toting single family homes that boast architecture mirroring that of Orange County, CA.
This surge in housing duly creates an unofficial financial and geographical divide between residents with East Highlands' newly formed residential neighborhoods stretching out some 5–6 miles eastward to formulate additional suburban neighborhood inter-communities collectively redefining the foothills as "East Highlands Ranch"; traveling parallel its southern "sister city" of Redlands, CA until curtailing within the undeveloped orange groves resting just outside of Mentone and equally exclusive Yucaipa, California.
