More land, more trees, and the quietest approach to White Rock Lake.
Lake Highlands sits north and east of White Rock Lake, inside the City of Dallas but served by Richardson ISD — an unusual pairing that has shaped the market for decades. Lots run generously by city standards, and the tree canopy through the older sections is among the best in Dallas.
Most of the housing dates from the 1950s through the 1970s: Ranch and traditional homes, many now substantially expanded or rebuilt. The upper end concentrates in the pockets closest to the lake and the creeks, where topography gives lots genuine character rather than a flat rectangle.
It rewards buyers who want space and mature landscape without leaving the city, and it is one of the few Dallas markets where a considered renovation still reliably outperforms a teardown.
Current inventory is served through Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty. Alex represents buyers on any listing in Lake Highlands, whoever holds it.
