🏡 House of the Week
Lake Highlands Find
Tucked inside a quiet gated pocket of Lake Highlands, this modern gem is giving serious “coffee-on-the-patio before the day starts” energy. Think bright open spaces, a big kitchen island made for Sunday pancakes, and a cozy loft nook upstairs that’s begging to be your new reading corner.
You’ll get city convenience (NorthPark and SMU are minutes away) with a relaxed, family-friendly vibe — plus a community resort-style pool.
Why we picked it: Modern Dallas living without the noise or the maintenance headache.
Price challenge: Be honest… what’s your guess on the list price? Over or under what you’d expect for a gated 3-bed in Lake Highlands with a two-car garage?
Dallas business owners 💙
Our readers love discovering what’s local — where to eat, shop, and spend their weekends.
