About Old Lake Highlands

Perched upon some of the highest elevations in Dallas and embraced by a greenbelt, Old Lake Highlands is a beautiful neighborhood boasting approximately 1,700 homes. This sweet community is characterized by its one and two-story ranch-style homes and charming cottages, most resting on pier and beam foundations, reflecting the enduring architecture of an era gone by. Many residences preserve their original hardwood floors, adding to the area’s historical charm.

While a few newer constructions have emerged, replacing older structures, the essence of Old Lake Highlands remains largely intact, with a majority of the original homes standing proud. The neighborhood offers stunning vistas of downtown Dallas and White Rock Lake, making it a sought-after location for those who appreciate both urban connectivity and natural beauty.

The proximity to White Rock Lake is a notable advantage for residents, providing easy access to its extensive bike and jogging paths, along with the scenic Norbuck Park and Bel Aire Park. This blend of natural surroundings and urban convenience is a rare find.

Located about 10 miles from downtown Dallas and roughly five miles from Northpark Mall, Old Lake Highlands enjoys an enviable position near the vibrant shopping, dining, and nightlife of the Lakewood and Lower Greenville areas. This neighborhood offers a serene living environment with the benefits of city life just a stone’s throw away, making it an ideal place for those seeking a balanced lifestyle in East Dallas.
