According to the United States Census Bureau, Highland’s 5.1 square mile area is home to over 5,600 residents. Homes in the hamlet are of varied styles, sizes and age. New construction homes are popular and many seek out builders that will build a custom home in this area. Finding land to build on is not that hard.
Lifestyle
Like much of the Hudson Valley region, Highland is known for its rich history and natural beauty. Despite its small size, it is home to two New York State Parks. Residents and outdoor enthusiast come from around the state to hike, bike, skate, showshoe, ski, and even ride on horseback along the Hudson Valley Rail Trail, which connects with the breathtaking views of the Walkway Over the Hudson. The Franny Reese State Park offers other opportunities for biking and dog-friendly (but challenging!) hikes, but even I can do it, hence the difficulty is not all that stressful.
