A (Very) Brief History of Lake Highlands
Rooted in post-war Dallas growth, Lake Highlands developed through the 1950s–70s as a suburban pocket northeast of White Rock Lake. Its rolling topography, mid-century streets, and strong Richardson ISD identity gave it a small-town feel inside the city limits. Today it’s a blend of established neighborhoods, revitalized retail, and convenient urban access—making it one of Dallas’s most sought-after “close-in” suburbs.
