    I saw this area shortly before the holidays and am so glad Leah posted this. What a great example of (semi) affordable living in Dallas! And certainly a huge improvement to the area!

      Custom home builders are building on lots all over Lake Highlands. Go check out the L Streets (just north of this development) or the White Rock Elementary attendance zone. LH is exploding in new builds.

    Vanilla homes! Ugly! Why do we have to lose character in new builds? Cookie cutter.

      Good question — you have inspired me to ask!

      Because of $ and scale. It’s easier/cheaper/faster to build and sell something that is pretty generic.
