Highfield is a ward within the borough of Dacorum in Hertfordshire, England, forming part of the residential suburbs of Hemel Hempstead. It is characterised by a mix of post‑war and later housing, local shops and community facilities, with pockets of green space and easy access to the surrounding countryside and the Chiltern Hills.
The area has a mixed social and economic profile with a combination of private and social housing, neighbourhood schools and active community groups, and relies on small businesses and local services rather than heavy industry. Its residents benefit from good commuter links to London and other nearby towns, and the ward sits within a borough noted for older market towns such as Berkhamsted and Tring, which provide additional cultural and historic amenities.
