Highland blends wide-open countryside with convenient access to regional job hubs, offering a peaceful, upscale retreat in Howard County. Just minutes from Clarksville, Fulton, and Columbia, residents enjoy quick routes via MD-32 and US-29 while returning home to tree-lined lanes, farmettes, and horse properties. Weekends often revolve around local institutions like Boarman’s Market and trail time at Schooley Mill Park, where you’ll find an equestrian ring, multi-purpose fields, nature trails, and a popular 18-hole disc golf course. For bigger scenery and quiet paddles, nearby Triadelphia Reservoir delivers fishing, kayaking, and sunset overlooks along the Patuxent.
Families prize the area’s strong public schools. Highland is served by the Howard County Public School System, with many addresses feeding to Highland Elementary School, Lime Kiln Middle School, and Reservoir High School; always verify assignments, as boundaries can shift. Housing ranges from timeless colonials on acreage to refined new construction tucked along country roads, and daily needs are covered by nearby shopping and dining, with the entertainment, arts, and medical centers of Columbia only a short drive away.
