Highwood is a mix of older houses, two-flats (16.0% of units) and apartment buildings, and only 56.0% of homes are owner-occupied. That points to move-outs between tenants, basement and attic cleanouts in pre-1940 homes, and downsizing for older owners, with keepsakes set aside first. The crew carries from any floor with no stair fee, and a move-out house or carpet cleaning can follow the haul.
