Lake Highlands Estates is one of the most prestigious family neighborhoods in all of Dallas. Known for it's lovely, well-maintained homes amid abundant groves of mature trees, it is one of the best places to raise a family in the entire city. The neighborhood is served by the Richardson Independent School District, one of the very best in the entire state of Texas. It also one of the more charming neighborhoods in the city and best maintained.

Right around the corner from Lake Highlands Estates is one of the best recreation areas in the city, White Rock Lake. Here you can fish, sail, or just lounge around watch the joggers and the sailboats that cruise across this tranquil lake. Next door is the Dallas Arboretum, in addition to 66 beautiful acres of gardens you can roam, it plays hosts to a number of regional and national touring musical acts in the evenings. The neighborhood is also close to Greenville Avenue, which has some of the city's hottest nightspots and some of the very best dining to be had in the entire city.
