Characteristics

Transportation

Highland is especially car friendly. It is a rather short car ride to the closest highway, such as Foothill Freeway, from any location in this city, and it is convenient to come across a place to park. On the other hand, traveling by transit can be challenging in Highland due to the infrequent service. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most properties. Bicycling is occasionally challenging in Highland since Highland has fairly poor cycling infrastructure, and cyclists encounter a considerable amount of hills. Getting around as a pedestrian is also not very popular in this city, even though many common errands can be run without a car.

Services

It is straightforward to access the nearest grocery store as a pedestrian from anywhere in Highland. Likewise, this part of the Inland Empire metropolitan area is a good place in which to eat out, and property owners benefit from approximately 10 cafes as well. When it comes to education, primary schools are very easy to get to as a pedestrian from any location in Highland. However, high schools are not especially plentiful and accordingly may require a rather long pedestrian trip to get to. Apart from public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.

Character

Home buyers who prefer a calm ambience will enjoy Highland. This part of the Inland Empire metropolitan area is quiet overall, as the streets are generally quite peaceful - however noise can be bothersome closer to one of the 2 airports (Redlands Muni,San Bernardino Intl) or Foothill Freeway. Finally, it is easy to access parks in the city, since the majority of properties have one within a short distance and there are about 20 parks nearby for residents to visit.
