Solid positioning for commutes toward Richardson/Telecom Corridor, North Dallas, and central Dallas job centers.

Brief History

Lake Highlands grew significantly in the post–World War II suburban expansion of Dallas, developing as a residential “greenbelt” area with a strong neighborhood identity and family-oriented planning. Over time, the broader Northeast Dallas and Richardson border zone became an important connector between Dallas and the growing job centers to the north—especially as LBJ Freeway and Central Expressway shaped commuting patterns. Today, Lake Highlands remains a stable, in-demand area because it blends established community character with strong access to major highways, schools, and employment corridors.
