Highland a hamlet in the town of Lloyd NY, is mostly referred to as the town as Highland. It has gained much notoriety because of the development of "Walkway Over the Hudson" which is a foot traffic bridge from the town of Highland (Lloyd) to the city of Poughkeepsie.
I'd consider this area to be a bedroom community because of the access to Poughkeepsie with it's major shopping and large employers such as IBM. Just before you reach the bridge from route 9W over the Hudson River to Poughkeepsie you'll pass a strip mall with Hannafords supermarket. Just a few hundred feet from the entrance to the plaza is a road leading to this Planned Unit Development.
Built in the late 80's the location is ideal to the commuters. Many people take their cars over the Mid Hudson Bridge and go directly to work or some may park their cars at the Poughkeespie Train station and take Metro North into new York City.
The townhouses themselves consist of two bedrooms and some with a den which doubles as a third. The newer models built in 2000 have basements and larger square footage. Some of the models have a working fireplace and some have either a garage or basement. If you are lucky you may find a few with both. It is usually two townhouses side by side although there is one free standing building.
Lately sales have been brisk with a price tag from $160,000 to $200,000.Within this complex is a small road that also has condos with sales hovering around $160,000. The condos have monthly maintenance fess of approximately $245 .
The townhouses have an HOA fee of $45 per month which makes them a bargain as compared to other townhouse subdivisions starting at $250. This complex of course has a pool, clubhouse and children's playground. Of course location is key.
