Highland Park Dallas Real Estate

Gracious Highland Park Dallas homes can be purchased for close to $1,000,000 or over $50,000,000, but each home is in a beautiful Highland Park Dallas neighborhood that enjoys the Highland Park Police, Department of Public Safety, Highland Park Fire Department, Highland Park schools, library and the meandering creeks like Hackberry Creek and Turtle Creek that run through Highland Park linking the green spaces, parks and small Highland Park neighborhoods.  Often Highland Park Dallas homes can be purchased at lot value because the demand for land is so strong and growing because the inventory of Highland Park homes and Highland Park lots is so small. Highland Park is totally insulated from Dallas and any challenges facing a large city. Highland Park is also the neighborhood closest to the Knox entertainment area, the Arts District, and Katy Trail, the wonderful assets of the city. The better Dallas does as a city, the more valuable the property becomes in Highland Park Dallas.

Dallas is Strongest City in Country, Highland Park is Best in City

Dallas is the strongest city in the country and we can fully expect it to continue to flourish as 25 years of planning is coming to fruition. Klyde Warren Park created over Woodall Rodgers Freeway is an increasingly popular destination. Trinity Park, bike trails and museums continue to be nurtured. As people from cities around the United States are flocking to Dallas, Highland Park in Dallas is always a primary draw.

Dearest Douglas,

We are so grateful to you for guiding us throughout the exciting process of buying a beautiful Highland Park estate home first and then trying to sell our old Highland Park one in record time. I know you have an eye for distinctive and unique homes given your endless appetite for architecture and cultural comprehension. But your deep understanding of human behavior and the art of negotiation is even more spectacular. You are a rare gem and I am so blessed to count you as a good friend.”
