Highland Park Village is the town center

Highland Park has no main street. Its commercial center is Highland Park Village, the shopping center at Mockingbird Lane and Preston Road. It was built in 1931 and sits inside the town limits, although its stores use Dallas, TX 75205 mailing addresses. The center's main address is 47 Highland Park Village.

The Village's 2026 directory is mostly fashion and specialty retail, plus about a dozen places to eat and drink. These include Mi Cocina (No. 77), Café Pacific (No. 24), The Honor Bar (No. 26A) and Sadelle's (No. 1), as well as Bistro 31, Café Dior and Bird Bakery.

Town Hall, the Department of Public Safety and the library share one campus at 4700 Drexel Drive, across Euclid Avenue from Prather Park.

A short, set calendar

Town events are small and seasonal. In 2026 the library and Parks Department held an egg hunt with a bubble show at Prather Park on March 27. The Park Cities Fourth of July parade runs through Highland Park and University Park, and the 2025 parade ended with a celebration at Centennial Park in University Park.

In December the town lights the Landmark Pecan Tree in the 4200 block of Armstrong Parkway. The 2025 lighting was on Dec. 4, and Santa arrived on a fire truck. Highland Park Village held its own Christmas lights evening on Dec. 10, 2025. The library runs programs year-round.

Parks along Turtle Creek

The town's 1907 plan set aside 20% of the land for parks, according to the town's Wikipedia entry. The parks directory lists eight named parks. Lakeside Park (4601 Lakeside Drive) is the largest, at more than 14 landscaped acres along Turtle Creek between Beverly Drive and Armstrong Parkway. It has walking paths, the bridge on top of the Turtle Creek dam, and the Teddy Bear statues, and the town finished improvements there in 2024.

Fairfax Park (4524 Beverly Dr.) has a playground, a playing field, tennis and pickleball courts and a looping path. Abbott Park (4814 Abbott Ave.) has playgrounds and a tennis court. Davis Park has a playground, a tennis court and the town pool. Next door, Prather Park has pickleball courts and paths along Hackberry Creek. Flippen Park has a fountain and gazebo, and Connor and Douglas parks are landscaped spaces with paths. The town publishes acreage only for Lakeside.

The town pool (3801 Lexington Ave.) is open only to residents and their guests. In 2026 a season pass cost $65 a person, and the season ran May 22 to Sept. 27. The Katy Trail runs past Knox Street to SMU, just outside the town limits. White Rock Lake is about 13 minutes away by car.

Errands happen just outside town

The Snider Plaza store has a pharmacy. A CVS at 3012 Mockingbird Lane is open 24 hours, and its pharmacy keeps shorter hours.

The Southwestern Medical District is about 3.4 miles south-west, roughly 8 minutes off-peak. UT Southwestern's Clements University Hospital (6201 Harry Hines Blvd.) has a 24-hour emergency department. Parkland Memorial Hospital (5200 Harry Hines Blvd.) is a Level I trauma center licensed for 983 beds.

Most of the town is in Highland Park ISD, which TEA rated A, with 96 of 100, in 2025. That made it the top-scoring 5A/6A district in the state, according to People Newspapers. Armstrong Elementary (K-4, 3600 Cornell Ave.) and Bradfield Elementary (early education-4, 4300 Southern Ave.) are inside the town limits.

A low rate on very high values

Every Highland Park address pays the same five taxing units: Highland Park ISD at 0.8347, Dallas County at 0.2155, Parkland Hospital at 0.2120, the town at 0.1993 and Dallas College at 0.1066, all per $100 of value. Together that is about 1.57% before exemptions, the lowest combined rate among nearby Dallas County cities. Dallas proper runs about 2.23%.

Exemptions cut the bill further. The town, the county, Parkland and the college each take 20% off a homestead's value. Highland Park ISD takes 20% plus the state's $140,000. No MUD, PID or special district adds a levy.

The size of the base is what drives the bill. At the ACS median home value of $1,887,300, the 2025 bill comes to about $22,500 a year, or $1,876 a month, an effective rate near 1.19%. More than half goes to the school district. The same house as a rental with no exemptions would owe about $29,600.

What changes for 2026

The town proposed a 2026 rate of 19.1888 cents, down 3.7% from 19.9296 cents, with taxable values up about 9%. Highland Park ISD cut its rate to 0.8128. Dallas County raised its rate to 0.24865. Parkland and Dallas College 2026 totals were not confirmed.

The town says its share is a small part of the bill: about 12.3% of the average homeowner's total, or about $6,697 for 2025.

The town's rate has fallen each year since FY2023, from 23 cents to under 20 cents, while its taxable value climbed from $9.40 billion in 2024 to $10.33 billion in 2025. The town levies no debt-service tax.

Owners 65 and older

The town gives a $50,000 over-65 exemption. Dallas County, Parkland and Dallas College give $100,000. Highland Park ISD gives $60,000 and freezes school taxes at the level of the year the owner qualifies.

Town utilities: water, sewer, trash and stormwater

The town bills water, sewer, sanitation, recycling and stormwater together. Water is $22.84 a month plus $7.18 per 1,000 gallons for the first 12,000, with higher tiers above that. Sewer is $17.99 plus $7.09 per 1,000 gallons of metered water, so summer irrigation raises both.

Garbage is $33.99 a month for alley service and $67.50 for pack-out, collected twice a week. Recycling is $4.36 a month, picked up on Wednesdays. Stormwater depends on lot size, from $25.20 for lots up to 5,000 square feet to $198.92 for lots over an acre.

The town's own example, at 10,000 gallons on a mid-size lot, comes to $281 a month at FY2026 rates. Its proposed FY2027 budget raises that to $307.17, including a 25% stormwater increase. New construction pays a $750 sewer tap and $750 or more for a water meter.

Deposits and backflow testing add to move-in and upkeep costs. The town requires a meter deposit before water and sewer service starts, and its proposed budget adds backflow device testing in 2026 at $75 for domestic and irrigation devices.

Electric and internet

Oncor delivers power, and residents choose a retail electric provider, so the price depends on the plan. AT&T Fiber reaches many neighborhoods, with 1 Gig at $70 a month with discounts. Check each address.

Flood, commute and rent

The town takes part in the National Flood Insurance Program and posts a floodplain map. Check a lot against it, and against FEMA's map, before you buy.

The mean commute is about 20 minutes. Without traffic, downtown Dallas is about 10 minutes away and Love Field about 12. The Dallas North Tollway charges 22¢ a mile with a TollTag.

Most homes are owner-occupied. The ACS median gross rent is $2,216 a month.

Read the full growth story guide

A planned town that filled up early

John S. Armstrong bought the land in 1906 and named it Highland Park. Landscape architects Wilbur David Cook and George E. Kessler laid it out in 1907. After Dallas refused to let the area secede, residents voted to incorporate in November 1913, and the town had about 1,100 people when incorporation was granted in 1915.

Growth came fast. The town counted 8,422 residents in 1930 and 11,405 in 1950, still its highest Census count. Dallas tried to annex it starting in 1919, and the fight lasted until 1945. Today Highland Park is a 2.2-square-mile enclave surrounded by Dallas and University Park.

Population: flat for 40 years

Census counts show 8,739 residents in 1990, 8,842 in 2000, 8,564 in 2010 and 8,864 in 2020. The Census Bureau estimates 8,764 for July 2025. NCTCOG puts the town at 8,775 on Jan. 1, 2026, down 18 in a year.

No town, regional or state projection was found. With no vacant land, the population moves with household size and how houses are rebuilt, not with new subdivisions.

Housing: rebuilding, not adding

The Census permit survey shows 20 to 31 new homes permitted a year since 2020, all but a few single-family. The 2007 peak was 71. From 2000 to 2025 the town permitted 760 single-family homes, while Census estimates of total housing units stayed between about 3,700 and 4,100. Most new homes replace a house torn down on the same lot.

The town does not restrict which houses may be demolished. It granted 157 demolition permits in the five fiscal years before 2017. High-profile cases include a nearly 100-year-old Fairfax Avenue house in 2023 and the Cox mansion at Beverly Drive and Preston Road in 2024. The Cox site's owner asked to raise the height limit to just under 65 feet, then withdrew the request in January 2025.

There are no builder subdivisions here. Buyers choose between an original house, a renovated one, or a new rebuild. About 89% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.

Highland Park Village and town projects

Highland Park Village opened in 1931 at Mockingbird Lane and Preston Road and became a National Historic Landmark in 2000. The Washburne and Summers families bought it in 2009 for $170 million, and Gillon Property Group, formed in 2025, now manages it. A 2026 state filing proposes 10,500 square feet of additions to two buildings; cost estimates in filings and press range from $5 million to $25 million.

The town's own spending goes mostly to drainage and streets. Its FY2026 capital plan is $39.4 million, led by a $20.6 million rebuild of the Wycliffe Avenue dam and bridge, which the state rates high hazard. Work was set to start in January 2026 and take 20 to 24 months. Lake dredging, Hackberry Creek and street rebuilds on Eastern and Douglas avenues follow. The 10-year plan totals $165.8 million, and the town carries no property tax debt rate.

Leaving DART

On May 2, 2026, 69.5% of voters chose to leave DART, by unofficial count. DART service in town ended in May. The town started its own on-demand service with Via on May 13, covering the town and about a mile beyond, including Mockingbird Station.

The exit is not free. DART estimates the town owes $30 million to $40 million, which will be paid from the 1% transit sales tax, about $8 million a year recently, until the debt is cleared.

Schools: steady, slightly smaller

Highland Park ISD serves most of the town; check addresses on the western edge. Enrollment peaked at 7,091 in 2014-15 and was 6,350 in 2024-25. State data show 6,238 in 2026, and the district projects about 5,900 by 2029.

Voters passed a $361.4 million bond in 2015 and a $137.3 million maintenance bond in 2024, 68% to 32%.

Values and incomes

Census survey data show the median owner-estimated home value rising from $1,192,800 (2011-2015) to $1,989,900 (2020-2024). Median household income rose from $183,594 to $249,923 (2018-2022); since then the Census reports it only as above $250,000.

Preliminary 2026 taxable value was $11.38 billion, up 10.6%. The town has cut its tax rate two years running and proposed 19.1888 cents per $100 for FY2027.
