Lake Highlands


Lake Highlands is northeast Dallas at its most easygoing and green. The legendary White Rock Lake is the backyard here, with a nine-mile trail built for sunrise runs, lazy bike rides, and golden-hour picnics. Wander the world-class Dallas Arboretum's gardens, then refuel at neighborhood gems like JG's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, Mi Cocina, and White Rock Coffee. The revamped Lake Highlands Town Center brings shops, restaurants, and a handy DART rail stop. Top-rated Richardson ISD schools make it a family magnet. US-75 and I-635 keep the whole metro within easy reach. For renters craving green space, great schools, and room to breathe, Lake Highlands is a breath of fresh air.
