Lake Highlands High School

Swank It Up In This Chimney Hills Townhome

By Nikki Barringer / November 19, 2019 /

Today’s word is “potential.” As in this townhome off of Interstate 635 and Abrams has so much potential. First of all, it’s a townhome, but it doesn’t have any shared walls. That’s one in the win column. Now remember what we said, it’s full of potential, and therefore priced accordingly. The seller isn’t interested in…

It’s High School Reunion Season. Here’s How to Survive Yours

By Shelby Skrhak / October 19, 2018 /

Holiday in The Highlands Home Tour Features Gracious Ranches With Thoughtful Renovations

By Joanna England / December 4, 2013 /

Full of family homes and interesting architecture from myriad styles and schools, Lake Highlands is an incredible neighborhood that spans a broad swath of northeast Dallas. A stone’s throw from White Rock Lake, the area not only has views and amenities, but considering that much of the area is inside the Richardson ISD attendance boundaries means it attracts families with school-aged kids.

But not everyone uproots when the kids graduate and move off to college on their own. In fact, there’s a lovely community of women in the Lake Highlands Women’s League that has truly stood the test of time. Each year this group donates money and time to great causes throughout their community, funding their endeavors with their annual Holiday in the Highlands Home Tour.

This year the Sunday, Dec. 6, tour will include some amazing homes, but you’ll love the people inside these great houses, too. Take Suzanne Knudson, for instance, who, along with her husband, Mark, is opening up their Lake Highlands home for this year’s tour. Suzanne took a few moments to answer some questions about her house, her community, and this year’s home tour.
