Highland is a hamlet in the town of Lloyd NY that 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. After a long day of work time for some serious retail therapy. Why live far away from your fix when you could find this condo updated with gleaming hardwood floors and SS appliances. 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. 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.
