Highlands
From its 2-mile proximity to Lewisville Lake to its vibrant local parks, the leafy neighborhood of Highlands is a highly attractive Lewisville community with a wide array of perks and amenities. "It's always at the top of the list for best places to live. It goes to really good schools — if you live in the neighborhood, you're for sure gonna be going to a good school," says local Realtor Shaune Corbett of eXp Realty LLC, who grew up in Highlands. "It's an area you move to and you don't leave."
You'll find a wide selection of homes along Highlands' leafy, loose-gridded streets. Brick, hipped roof ranch homes are common throughout the neighborhood, but you'll also discover modern colonials along with Tudor and Craftsman homes. Single-story homes can sell between $350,000 and $450,000 while larger homes with upwards of four bedrooms may price north of $600,000. Many homes in Highlands last between 24 to 27 days on the market, says Corbett.
One of the big draws to Highlands is its outstanding schools, served by the Lewisville Independent School District. Children can go to Highland Village Elementary at the neighborhood's northside or Briarhill Middle School stationed to the west. Teens may attend the nearby Marcus High School. With an overall Niche grade of A-plus, the high school offers an AVID program and a highly competitive athletics department, which has produced several notable professional athletes, including NBA star Marcus Smart.
Stationed directly next to the middle school, Unity Park serves as one of Highlands' top gathering spots. The park's playground, Kid's Kastle, was originally built in 1994, but has since been reconstructed since it was partially destroyed by a fire in 1999. "Every local person knows what Kid's Kastle is. It's an enormous playground, pavilion, dog park and duck pond that's kind of exclusive to the neighborhood," says Corbett. "It's got a parking lot, they have food trucks, every summer they run the ice cream trucks through there. It's just a fun place to go."
The neighborhood also hosts the Celebrate Highland Village festival each June. The annual event features a 5K run and live entertainment before being topped off with fireworks on Lewisville Lake. For a day on the green, Lake Park Golf Course is just 2 miles east of Highlands. Sitting along the shores of the lake, the golfing facility is an excellent place to take in spectacular views during the warmer months.
If you're eating out, visit Sneaky Pete's for chicken wings and their bacon cheese fries. Settled right on Lewisville Lake, the restaurant is a local hot spot for its scenic views and live music on weekends. You can also gather the family for lunch at Motor City Pizza off Justin Road, which is known for its square-sliced Detroit-style pizza.
The pizza restaurant sits just down the street from Walmart Neighborhood Market, so groceries are always close by. For additional shopping needs, visit The Shops at Highland Village at the corner of Justin and Village Parkway. The local shopping mall contains restaurants, boutiques and a myriad of retail shops.
Highlands residents are largely car-dependent, but have easy access to Garden Ridge Boulevard and Interstate 35, which feeds directly into Dallas.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
