Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the favored way to navigate this community. It is very convenient to park. Commuting by bicycle is difficult in Highland since there are a good number of elevation changes for cyclists to brave, and the cycling infrastructure is rather poor. It is also impractical for pedestrians to get around in this community as very few day-to-day errands can be run without the need to use a car.

Services

It is often possible for home buyers in Highland to buy their groceries as pedestrians. Residents benefit from a few restaurants and coffee shops as well. As far as education is concerned, locals may consider it very difficult to reach high schools and primary schools as pedestrians. Property buyers have the choice between public and private elementary schools.

Character

The character of Highland is exemplified by its slower-paced environment. This part of the Greater Baltimore metropolitan area is very quiet, as the streets are very peaceful. Finally, there are a few public green spaces close by for residents to discover, like Schooley Mill Park, and they are very well-situated, which results in them being easy to get to from the majority of locations within Highland.
