Lake Highlands

Lake Highlands is an area of northeast Dallas with residential neighborhoods, parks and commercial streets. The Lake Highlands Town Center and Skillman corridor provide useful local orientation points, while recreation spaces and trails connect parts of the area.

The Lake Highlands Public Improvement District covers a defined assessment area rather than every address using the Lake Highlands name. Walne Park, formerly Lake Highlands North Park, is another local landmark. The distinction between the neighborhood, the PID and a school district matters when comparing individual properties.

Places to know

Lake Highlands Town Center. A commercial and public-space reference point within the area.

Walne Park. The city park formerly known as Lake Highlands North Park.

Lake Highlands PID. A mapped district supporting additional services and improvements for assessed properties.

Check at the address, not the town name

• Check whether the parcel is in the Lake Highlands or North Lake Highlands PID and review the relevant assessment information.
• Confirm school attendance boundaries with the district using the actual address; the Lake Highlands neighborhood name is not an attendance map.
• School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: TEA school district locator, FEMA flood maps, county appraisal districts.
