THE HIGHLAND LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Hudson Valley setting.

Highland CDP has 5.4 square miles of land in Ulster County. Its Census reference point is in Hudson Valley, within Northeastern Coastal Zone.

Irregular plains and low hills form a coastal transition with glacial lakes and oak-pine woodland. This northeastern landscape is gentler than the mountainous country farther inland.

Regional context: Northeastern Coastal Zone ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Highland and Ulster County

Highland is associated with Ulster County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Ulster County

Highland by land and water

The Census records 0.71 square miles of water within Highland, or 11.5% of its total area. It is 8.4 percentage points higher than the 3.1% recorded for Ulster County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Highland CDP has 20.7 times the land area of nearby Marist College CDP (0.26 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Highland land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Highland’s place name from its government

Highland is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Highland address as city approval. Ulster County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Hudson Valley setting

Hudson Valley belongs to Northeastern Coastal Zone. Is the parcel on a low hill, glacial basin edge or coastal plain, and which survey and access documents are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Marist College

Marist College is 1.5 miles east of the Highland reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Highland
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Highland?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Ulster County. Highland’s 5.4 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Highland property in Hudson Valley?+

No. Hudson Valley is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Highland boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Marist College as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 1.5 miles east of Highland’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Highland?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
