A waterfront Rowlett, Texas, suburb near several cities
Highland Meadows offers residents the perks of lakeside living with proximity to two vibrant downtown districts. The community sits on the eastern peninsula of Rowlett, Texas, surrounded by Lake Ray Hubbard. "The lake is the main reason people are drawn here," says Broker Chris Garcia of Altura Realty, who has served the area for over eight years. “You’ve got easy access to the lake, but you’re also 30 minutes to Downtown Dallas with no traffic. Plus, it’s tight knit. The neighbors all know each other.” Two major thoroughfares lead to Downtown Rowlett, 5 miles away, and historic Downtown Rockwall, which is a 4-mile drive.
It is just a short distance for residents of Highland Meadows to go from home to the lake.

Outdoor recreation at Lake Ray Hubbard and nearby waterfront parks
The 22,000-acre Lake Ray Hubbard encompasses Highland Meadows, where boating and deep-sea fishing are popular. Sapphire Bay Marina is less than 3 miles south of the community, across Interstate 30 at the furthest point of the peninsula. At the marina, locals can rent boats and boat slips and purchase yachts. The surrounding district is part of a planned, mixed-used development named Sapphire Bay. Slated to open in late 2024, the 117-acre property will include a restaurant complex called Baywalk; a lagoon; a 400-room resort hotel; 1,500 townhouses and condos; and a surf and beach club. The 14-acre Shorewood Park – which sits at the heart of the neighborhood – has basketball courts, a hockey rink, a playground, soccer fields and multi-use trails. There's also Lakeside Park South, less than 3 miles away and one of many lakefront parks. Stretching 6 acres, Lakeside Park South offers a sand volleyball court, covered picnic areas and a fishing pier. Paddle Point Park is next door. Its 6-mile paddling trail is popular for canoeing and kayaking. Five miles north, the 137-acre Rowlett Community Park is used the most for recreation and events. The park features softball and soccer fields, outdoor exercise equipment, a lake with a fishing pier and hiking trails. Rowlett Creek-Dallas County Nature Preserve is 7 miles west and encompasses 97 acres along the creek. The preserve is known for its challenging 15 miles of wooded bike paths, but it also provides fishing opportunities.
Residents and visitors love to spend a day on Lake Ray Hubbard from Paddle Point Park.

Ramblers and million-dollar, lakefront homes
The tree-lined community is filled with ranch-style and two-story brick homes, modern townhouses and million-dollar lakefront properties. “It's the main medical center area of Rowlett, and it’s also one of the original areas in Rowlett, so the homes tend to be older and priced a little lower, except for homes along the lake,” says Heather Sims, a Rowlett resident and broker/owner of the Elysian Agency. Most single-family houses were built in the mid-1980s through ‘90s. Prices range from the high-$200,000s for a 1,600-square-foot three-bedroom to the mid-$500,000s for a 3,400-square-foot four- or five-bedroom. Properties near Lake Ray Hubbard start in the high-$500,000s and increase from there. “The closer to the lake, the higher the price, so a Highland Meadows-area lakefront home can cost $1 million or more,” Sims says. Lot sizes are spacious, with most averaging a quarter-acre or more. Most dwellings have rear garages, spacious driveways for boats or other toys and fenced-in yards. Higher-priced homes have in-ground pools, private boat docks and walkways leading to the lake. Waterfront townhouses are also available in the Heritage on the Lake subdivision in the neighborhood’s northern section. Prices start in the low-$300,000s for a three-bedroom and include attached, two-car garages and direct lake access. “That isn't a common type of home in Rowlett," Sims says of the townhouses. “It's a good area for someone looking for a competitively-priced alternative to a single-family home and for someone looking for lakefront living." All Highland Meadows residents are within walking distance of Shorewood Park and walking or biking distance to the lake.
Many different styles of homes are found lake-side at Highland Meadows.

High marks for Highland Meadows schools
"It's important to note that Highland Meadows is zoned to the sought-after Rockwall ISD, which has helped sustain a lot of value for the area," Sims says. "It offers a good option for someone who wants Rockwall schools but also wants a home that fits their budget better than a home in Rockwall might." Students can attend Doris Cullins-Lake Pointe Elementary – which offers regular literacy and math nights and earns an A-minus on Niche – followed by the A-rated J.W. Williams Middle. Kids can complete their secondary education at Rockwall High School, which scores an A and is the second-best public high school in Rockwall County. Rockwall High also offers a film club and swimming and soccer teams.
Meaningful work at Rockwall High School engages students in learning.

Close to shopping, dining and entertainment
Most shopping and dining is clustered around Highway 66 and Dalrock Road. Anchored by Tom Thumb, Lake Pointe Market offers Walgreens, Petco and Bank of America. Burger Island, known for its half-pound burgers and sandwiches stacked high with toppings, and Ephesus Bistro & Grill are also in the strip mall. Ephesus is a local favorite for kebabs, gyro sandwiches and other Mediterranean fare. The checkerboard-decorated Dalrock Diner is a popular weekend spot for breakfast and classic comfort foods. Tokyo Hana is the go-to restaurant for an upscale dinner on the lake. The Japanese steakhouse serves sushi, hibachi meals and sashimi. Walmart is located in the Dalrock Crossing shopping center. For more retail and dining options, Downtown Rowlett is 5 miles west.
