"a great place to raise a family in bustling and busy Dallas, Texas"

Tucked away in the Lake Highlands region of Dallas, Forest Meadows is a vibrant yet somewhat staid neighborhood with families with children, retirees, and a smorgasbord of ethnic groups. The neighborhood is served by the highly acclaimed Richardson Independent School District, and children attend Lake Highlands High School, which is host each July to one of Dallas' premier musical events, the Festival of Drums and Bugles where people of all ages come to enjoy some world-class drum and bugle corps. The bands at the Richardson Independent School District are also known as some of the best in a very competitive state, and the schools are also known for excellent academics.

Dallas Area rapid Transit (DART) is easily accessible from this neighborhood with a station at Forest Lane on the northern border. The neighborhood features a number of local-friendly pubs and eateries serving Southern comfort food where you can build bonds with your neighbors. Harry S. Moss Park is an urban oasis with an access point to White Rock Creek Trial, which is ideal for joggers and bikers.

Many families have fled other parts of Dallas to the Forest Meadows area so that their children can attend school here, making the entire Lake Highlands area a very desirable area to live in the Dallas-Ft Worth Metroplex.
