Melrose Highlands
Melrose Highlands is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city of Melrose, in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. Formerly part of neighboring Stoneham, it became part of Melrose in the latter part of the nineteenth century. There were some addresses that had the zip code 02177, before the Highlands post office was closed; the Melrose zip code of 02176 is now used, although mail marked as 02177 is still deliverable.
