Our Take
Highland, NY offers a quiet, suburban feel with a decent commute to Manhattan, but the area lacks public transit, dining, and local school options. It’s affordable compared to nearby towns and has a tight-knit community, making it a solid choice for families and remote workers. If you’re looking for a walk‑friendly neighborhood with a bustling nightlife, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
