Smaller suburban area by Interstate 35 and 20
Seven miles from downtown Fort Worth and tucked between two interstates, Highland Hills is a quiet neighborhood. “The neighborhood is well established,” says Missy Starling, who has been a real estate agent for 21 years with Coldwell Banker. “People that have been there, it's not like they move.” While the community does have a smaller section of housing in the north, most of the neighborhood consists of commercial businesses, including the headquarters for Alcon Incorporated, an eye care product company, and some industrial sections. While most of the neighborhood has been well established, the homes are also good for first-time homebuyers. “The new blood that’s coming in, it’s a perfect place to start,” says Starling. “It’s a well-kept community, it’s very close-knit.” The Highland Hills Community Center sits at the back of the residential portion and has had different clubs and organizations come through.
Ranch-style homes with large yards for pets
Most of the neighborhood consists of ranch-style homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, with mature trees shading the houses and yards. “The majority of people have dogs,” says Starling. “Something like 70% of homeowners have dogs because they have nice-sized yards.” Privacy fences of all materials cover the backyards. For ranch-style homes, prices range between $165,000 for a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom and $275,000 for four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The streets of Highland Hills are laid out in an arched, uneven grid and partially lined by sidewalks. For the most part, homeowners’ front lawns are unfenced, and driveways are wide enough to park two cars side by side; double garages are standard as well. While most of the area is single-story, there are a few two-story homes throughout the neighborhood, with the last listed price for one being $325,000.
The tree-lined streets of Highland Hills offer residents a quiet oasis near the city.
Highland Hills is scattered with various styles of two-story homes.
