Even though Dallas and Fort Worth are clearly landlocked cities, it doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of shoreline properties. With suburbs like Rockwall, Rowlett, Lewisville, and Little Elm, lakeside living is alive and well. Among these incredible communities, Highland Village stands out for its excellent schools, amazing views, and exquisite real estate. Residents here enjoy both an array of outdoor amenities as well as excellent attractions like The Shops at Highland Village plus a ton of restaurants, theaters, and more.

For this edition of Suburb Sunday, we’ll explore three incredible properties in this unique area. Each one showcases exactly what you can expect from this incredible community.

A Smart Floorplan and Sensational Location

Especially in these unique lakeside suburbs, location is a key component for any resident. Since Highland Village offers so many attractions, you want to be close to all the action. Fortunately, our first house easily checks that box.

“The location is amazing,” said listing agent Marilyn Newland with Keller Williams Realty. “It’s extremely close to all the great shopping in Highland Village and within walking distance to the standout schools this area has to offer. Also, there are plenty of parks, trails, and other amenities just down the street.”

The home itself is perfectly suited for just about any type of occupant. With nearly 3,000 square feet of space, the floor plan extends almost endlessly.

“I really love the floor plan in this home,” said Newland. “The property features two living rooms, three full bathrooms, plus a game room so it’s excellent for entertaining. Also, it was just recarpeted, and the kitchen was remodeled with new appliances so it’s move-in ready.”

Our next home this week is a beautifully updated two-story with tons of features both inside and out. A part of the coveted Highland Shores community, this home offers residents a gorgeous greenbelt lot with an abundance of community extras.

“Highland Shores is an excellent masterplan community,” said listing agent Marshall Embry with the Rhodes Team at Berkshire Hathaway. “The community offers an array of amenities including pools, playgrounds, parks, tennis courts, trails & so much more. It’s honestly one of the best areas of town.”

Of course, homes here stand on their own as well. This one is an excellent example of a beautiful build that’s big enough for any buyer.

“I really like the house because it has so much space and the rooms are large with an abundance of closets,” said Embry. Also, the whole home is very bright and open. Also, the backyard is an incredible oasis with a deck and pool and lots of room to play. It’s just perfect.”

It isn’t often we come across a custom home built on such a unique lot. However, this last home exemplifies such a unique character that it’s drawn a ton of interest from all over the area.

“This is such a unique property,” said listing agent Jason Clay Haugen with eXp Realty LLC. “It includes four levels and was expertly engineered to fit this really unique lot that it is on. Just looking at the façade you can tell how special it is. It has this quality that almost reminds me of an East Coast home. So many people have been interested in checking it out so I’ve been holding it open pretty regularly.”

Also, with lakeside access and no shortage of natural appeal, the neighborhood is one-of-a-kind as well.

“I don’t think there another area like this in the state,” said Haugen. “There’s a ton of topography, trees, hills, valleys and so much to explore here. Also, the neighborhood also showcases a variety of unique homes. This is really one of DFW’s best-kept secrets.”
