Highland
Welcome to Highland, Howard County
Highland offers a quiet, elegant lifestyle surrounded by nature and open land. Tucked into southern Howard County, this rural community blends space, privacy, and charm with easy access to nearby towns. It’s a place where life moves slower, homes sit on acres, and the air feels a little fresher.
Spacious Homes, Timeless Style
Highland is known for its estate-style homes. Many properties are custom-built and set back on large lots with long driveways and mature landscaping. From traditional colonials to newer luxury homes, the architecture fits naturally into the rolling countryside. Most homes sit on two acres or more, giving families room to grow, garden, or keep horses.
The community feels open and relaxed. Wide roads, wooded areas, and quiet mornings are part of daily life. Neighbors value privacy but still come together with a strong sense of local pride.
Peaceful Setting, Prime Location
Even though Highland feels rural, it’s never far from the action. Route 216 and Route 108 make it easy to get to Columbia, Clarksville, and the I-95 corridor. Many residents commute to Washington DC, Baltimore, or Fort Meade while returning home to calm evenings and starlit skies.
Nearby areas like Fulton and Clarksville offer dining, shopping, and services just minutes away. Highland keeps its small-town vibe with a local market, post office, and a few cozy restaurants, but everything else is close when you need it.
A Life Connected to Nature
Outdoor living comes easy in Highland. Many homes have barns or paddocks, and the local equestrian scene stays active. People enjoy walking, biking, and riding along quiet roads and wooded trails. Gardening is popular, and large yards invite families to spend time outside year-round.
Communities like Dayton, Glenelg, and Fulton share Highland’s scenic views and rural lifestyle. Together, they form one of Howard County’s most sought-after regions for peaceful, upscale living.
Highland offers a rare mix of elegance, space, and quiet, all within reach of major cities and services. It’s the kind of place where you can breathe deep, spread out, and feel at home.
