Highland Park is one of the two cities that make up the Park Cities community. The area is a very mature, and consists of older historic homes along beautiful streets that are thick with trees and well-groomed parks and gardens. Together with University Park, Highland Park helps supply some of the most popular and sought after Dallas real estate.

If you are looking to be seen with the Dallas well-to-do, stop in at the Highland Park Villages and Shops. This is where those with the money go, and those who want to be seen with them also go. It's among the most upscale shopping in the state.

The city services are highly dedicated to serving residents, and maintain beautiful parks, well-groomed streets, excellent libraries, and an award-winning schools system. Because residents are highly educated--76 percent of residents have at least an associate's degree or higher, and 75 percent have at least a bachelor's degree or higher--the schools (Highland Park Independent School District) are among the best in the area. Even people who don't have families yet enjoy Highland Park--there are some excellent choices in townhomes and condominiums.

Those who are looking for Dallas homes for sale and are in the market for upscale properties consider Highland Park as well as University Park. The area is quiet, mature, well-maintained, and it is only a few minutes from Dallas shopping, employment, and the culture of the city life, complete with Dallas Symphony Orchestra, operas, ballet, and much more.
