The tree-lined streets of Highlands North create a welcoming atmosphere.
A quaint, quiet Plano suburb near big-city amenities
Part of the first massive wave of development in Plano, Highlands North is the epitome of suburbia with a tight-knit neighborhood association. “It is an older, established neighborhood,” says Levy Porpino, a Realtor with Douglas Elliman Realty, who’s sold a handful of houses in Highlands North. “It also provides a little bit more of an affordable price point than some of the other neighborhoods in Plano.” Established in 1979, the neighborhood is home to top-ranked schools and a diverse culinary scene. Less than 20 miles from Dallas and 5 miles from downtown Plano, residents can easily reach big-city attractions and amenities with the neighborhood’s proximity to a major thoroughfare.
Ranchers and traditional brick homes with quarter acre lots
Quiet suburban tree-lined streets are filled with over 400 brick ranch-style homes, brick two-story traditional homes and split levels. Most homes were built in the early 1980s and range from approximately $330,000 for a three-bedroom home around 1,500 square feet to around $860,000 for a four-bedroom home over 3,000 square feet. “The homes I sold in Highlands North were the first new construction properties there in 30 years, so it flew off the market, but for the most part, the market moves at an average pace," Porpino says. Home prices are also much lower than the average for Plano and Dallas. The median home price for Plano in June 2024 was $579,000 and $475,000 for Dallas. Residents take pride in having well-kept, manicured lawns as the Highlands North Homeowners Association awards two “Yard of the Month” accolades for the best-looking lots from May to October. Speaking of yards, residents also enjoy spacious lots, with the average starting around 8,700 square feet, but most stretch up to a quarter acre or more. Houses are set far from the sidewalks and have long pathways leading to fenced-in backyards. Many homes also have multi-car garages and backyard pools. Highlands North residents enjoy easy access to a park, a hospital, shopping and dining.
