In order to get the big picture you must know a little history on the area. Lake Highlands is situated just North of White Rock Lake in Dallas and has some of the most desireable topography inside the loop. The area is desireable to families with children because the school system is exceptional for public schools. We have many young couples moving back that grew up in Lake Highlands and simply cannot find another place they would rather be.
Renovation has always been very welcome but many residents do not approve of the recent rush of new construction by certain builders. Many of the concerns come from the older population that are happy with tiny bathrooms and even smaller closets so they really do not even understand the need for these huge, high dollar properties. I personally welcome them with open arms if they produce a product that enhances the area and specific location. Mark Dann is one of the builders in the area that produces an exceptional product and most neighbors are very happy when they see his sign go up on a recently emptied lot. We are happy to see the "good builders" but I would have to warn any "bad builder" to stay away because we have a very outspoken community that will send you packing very quickly.
Our retail is about to boom in a big way but that will be the subject of my next blog.
