Highland Ridge, nestled in Texas, highlights charming homes amidst scenic landscapes.
Brick and stone exteriors on neighborhood streets
Homes in Highland Ridge are commonly traditional, multi-level, remodeled structures with brick or stone exteriors. "The homes in Highland Ridge are mostly older," Burgess says. "A lot of the homes here will be fairly, if not fully, remodeled in the next five years,” Burgess says, adding that “most of Plano is $600,000 to $800,000 and up for homes” due in part to the proximity to Plano. All of the neighborhood’s recently-sold homes were built in the 1990s. Lengthy sidewalks leading to soaring front archways are common features of properties here, along with large lots and spacious interiors.

Highland Ridge Neighborhood is a great choice for families and professionals.
Central to a quartet of thoroughfares
Highland Ridge sits less than 20 minutes from four major roadways in each direction. To the north, the Sam Rayburn Tollway and Highway 121 connects areas such as Lewisville and McKinney, while to the south, the President George Bush Turnpike unfolds for over 50 miles and reaches Dallas, Garland and more. To the west, the Dallas North Tollway has stops in Plano, Dallas and Frisco, and to the east Route 75 runs as far north as the Canadian border. The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is about 30 miles southwest.
Unique eateries and local staples
Less than five minutes west, residents can pay a visit to the popular establishment Haywire. Offering a unique, tri-level dining experience, patrons can start off at the first-floor whiskey bar, move on to second-level dining and then cap off the visit with a cocktail on the rooftop patio. Chains like Shake Shack and Cava are also close by, local staples like Lita’s Mexican Grill serve up authentic fare and both the Donut House & Bakery and Glory Macarons offer baked goods. "There's a lot of stuff -- Asian, Greek and Mediterranean fare," Burgess says. "However, being in central Plano, it's not really something that's walkable. It's more driving distance." A Walmart Neighborhood Market location is less than three miles from Highland Ridge down Hedgcoxe Road.
