Highland Village offers a relaxed pace of life outside Dallas. "You have people choosing between moving here or Frisco. You avoid the traffic here, and the schools are just as great. You have a hometown feel and community," says Timi Grogan, local resident at Associate Broker at Repeat Realty. "People would come up here to build their lake homes, and that's kind of how Highland Village got started back in the 60s and 70s. The northeast side of Highland Village is the older part; when you go further to the west, you have newer developments."

Sprawling brick homes in subdivisions
Homes in Highland Village largely consist of large, brick, new traditional houses with four or more bedrooms priced between $500,000 and $700,000. These homes often feature grand, double-story entryways with columns, two-car garages, and details like arched windows and steeply pitched roofs. Many homes have private pools, and although many houses sit close together in subdivisions, large shade trees and landscaping offer some privacy. Lakefront properties sometimes feature more extravagant styles, with sprawling homes costing up to $2 million. "Lake Lewisville no longer allows boat docks to be built, but homes with a boat dock are grandfathered in. So that's a desired amenity," Grogan says.
