Where Lake Highlands is
Lake Highlands has no official boundary. It is a collection of subdivisions in Northeast Dallas, generally described as north and east of White Rock Lake, east of Central Expressway, US 75, and south of LBJ Freeway, I-635. It is in the City of Dallas, so city services come from Dallas.
Houses and streets
Most homes are single-family houses from the 1950s through the 1970s, many of them single-story ranch and mid-century designs, often on good-size lots with mature trees. Newer homes and townhomes appear in some sections. White Rock Lake and its trail are close to the southern part.
White Rock Creek and other creeks run through the area, so check flood maps for lots near them.
Schools: which district and how to check
Much of Lake Highlands is in Richardson ISD even though it is in the City of Dallas. Some streets closer to White Rock Lake, often called Old Lake Highlands, are in Dallas ISD. The line follows the district map, not the neighborhood name, so check the property's DCAD record for the school district and confirm the exact address with that district's school lookup.
Getting around
LBJ Freeway runs along the north and Central Expressway, US 75, is to the west, with Northwest Highway, Abrams Road, Skillman Street and Greenville Avenue as the main local routes. DART's Blue Line stops at White Rock Station and Lake Highlands Station. Drive times depend on the hour and your route.
