Schools

All of The Highlands is in Lewisville ISD, which earned a B from TEA in both 2026 and 2025. The first three plats and Ph 4 go to Briarhill Middle and Marcus High, both rated A, with ninth grade at the Marcus 9th Grade Campus, which TEA rates with Marcus High; Highland Lakes is zoned to Valley Ridge Elementary and Huffines Middle; ninth and tenth graders attend Lewisville High's Killough campus, and juniors and seniors the main Lewisville High campus. Lewisville ISD closed Highland Village Elementary after 2024-25 and moved its students to McAuliffe and Heritage, the two elementaries that now serve the first three plats.

Check a specific address in the School Finder Zones can split a neighborhood. The Finder checks one address against the zone map.

Zones from Lewisville ISD's School Locator map (2025-26 attendance boundaries, after the district's 2025 elementary closures). Lewisville High's ninth and tenth graders attend its Killough or Harmon campus, and Hebron and Marcus have separate ninth-grade campuses; TEA rates these campuses as part of their high school. Ratings are TEA's 2026 A–F grades, released August 2026, with 2025 grades where we found them; TEA hasn't published 0–100 scores for these campuses. Zones follow street lines and can change, so confirm any address with the district.

HOAs and neighborhood associations

We found no HOA. A listing in The Highlands Ph 3 and one on Balleybrooke Dr, a Highland Lakes street, say there's no HOA, and neighborhoods.com leaves its association-fee field blank for The Highlands. We found no listing that states HOA status in Ph 4, and no association website, newsletter or voluntary neighborhood group. Without an association there are no dues, no association pool or clubhouse and no architectural review; city code and any recorded deed restrictions set exterior standards. City parks sit next to every section.

No HOA foundNone found (per listings)

A Ph 3 listing and a listing on Balleybrooke Dr, a Highland Lakes street, say there's no HOA, and neighborhoods.com leaves its association-fee field blank for The Highlands. No listing we found states HOA status in Ph 4. City parks take the place of association amenities.

  • Highlands Park, about 6 acres, is next to the first three plats and Ph 4, and Purgatory Pass Park, a pocket park, is next to the first plats
  • Meadowlake Park, about 3 acres, is next to Ph 4
  • Highland Lakes Park is next to Highland Lakes, and the edge of the city's Lake Park on Lewisville Lake is about 0.1 mile away (its day-use areas and marina are farther), with a golf course, athletic fields, day-use areas and a marina (entry was $10 in 2022)
  • Highland Village's Unity Park, beside Briarhill Middle off FM 407, has ball fields, tennis courts, trails, a pond with a fishing pier, the Kid's Kastle playground and the K-9 Kastle dog park (per a 2022 guide)

Lewisville doesn't publish a neighborhood-association map, so association names, dues and amenities come from each association's website and posted documents, the Texas HOA management-certificate registry and recent listings, checked November 2026. Ask for the resale certificate and any recorded deed restrictions on a home. We found no HOA or neighborhood association for these sections: recent listings show no association dues. Older Lewisville subdivisions can still carry recorded deed restrictions, so ask for them on any home.

Flood zones

50 of the 640 lots (under 8%) touch FEMA's 1%-annual-chance floodplain (Zone AE or A): 47 in Highlands, 3 in Highland Lakes, mostly on Cripple Creek Ln, Purgatory Pass, Aspen Dr and Snowmass Pl. In most cases only part of the lot is mapped, not the house. Another 7 lots touch the 0.2% (500-year) zone.

From FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer, checked against county parcel lines Nov 2026. Lenders decide flood-insurance requirements by the structure, so check the exact address. FEMA flood map lookup

Property taxes

With a homestead exemption, a home at each section's typical 2026 appraisal pays about:

  • Highlands$326K home$4,050/yrabout $340/mo
  • Phase 4$399K home$5,250/yrabout $440/mo
  • Highland Lakes$489K home$6,800/yrabout $570/mo

That's city, county and Lewisville ISD taxes at a combined rate of 1.6976 per $100. These homes are inside Lewisville city limits and aren't in a MUD, PID or other special taxing district. The estimate uses 2026 adopted rates: City of Lewisville $0.436381, Lewisville ISD $1.0778 and Denton County $0.183394 per $100.

Work out your full monthly cost

Estimate from Realust's True Cost rates (latest adopted). The homestead exemption needs a filing; new owners often pay more in year one. Your bill uses your own appraisal.

History and the names on the street signs

  1. 1948–1955 (city)The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers builds Lewisville Dam, finished in 1954 by the city's timeline (1955 in other sources). It expands the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir, renamed Lewisville Lake in 1971.
  2. 1978–1983A neighborhood guide dates The Highlands to 1978. County records show most homes in the first three plats, The Highlands, Ph 2 and Ph 3, were built from 1980 to 1983.
  3. 1984–1995The Highlands Ph 4 Sections A and B add 40 homes, most from the mid-1980s.
  4. 1996–2000Highland Lakes Ph I and II are built: 129 homes, mostly two-story with four bedrooms.
  5. 2002–2012The rest of The Highlands Ph 4, 114 homes, fills in, mostly from 2002 to 2004.
  6. 2011 (city)DCTA's A-train starts service between Denton and Carrollton. Highland Village/Lewisville Lake Station, about 0.2 mile from Highland Lakes, holds its opening ceremony June 18, with a 138-space park-and-ride lot.
  7. 2024–2025On Dec. 9, 2024, Lewisville ISD's board votes 6–1 to close Highland Village Elementary after 2024-25 and moves its students to McAuliffe and Heritage elementaries.

The Highlands: ski country

The streets carry the names of Rocky Mountain and Southwest ski resorts, mountain towns and passes: Aspen, Vail, Snowmass, Ajax, Crested Butte, Steamboat, Purgatory, Big Sky, Teton, Ruidoso, Eagle Nest, Wolf Creek Pass and Cripple Creek. Many end in Pass, Trail or Run.

Highland Lakes: a different set

Highland Lakes, built in the late 1990s, switches to names with a British Isles sound, such as Balleybrooke, Campbellcroft, Chapelwood and Baythorne, plus Pinehurst.

We didn't find a plat or developer document explaining the street names or The Highlands name; the matches are ours. A few streets, such as Maxwell Dr, Bogard Ln and Reno Run, don't fit the ski theme.

Questions

Where is The Highlands in Lewisville?

In north Lewisville (75077), near Justin Rd (FM 407). The first three plats sit around the city's Highlands Park on streets such as Aspen Dr, Crested Butte Dr and Purgatory Pass. Ph 4 is just east, by Meadowlake Park, and Highland Lakes is about 0.9 mile northeast, about 0.1 mile from the edge of Lake Park and about 0.2 mile from the Highland Village/Lewisville Lake A-train station.

How much do homes in The Highlands cost?

Typical 2026 county appraisals are about $326K in the first three plats, $399K in Ph 4 and $489K in Highland Lakes (Denton CAD), after dips of 3% to 6% this year. Half of all homes are appraised between $310K and $445K. Appraisals often trail market prices, so check recent sales.

Does The Highlands have an HOA?

We found none. A Ph 3 listing and one on Balleybrooke Dr, a Highland Lakes street, say there's no HOA, and neighborhoods.com lists no association fee for The Highlands. No listing we found states HOA status in Ph 4. Ask for any recorded deed restrictions on a home.

Which schools serve The Highlands?

All of it is in Lewisville ISD. The first three plats go to Heritage or McAuliffe Elementary (both B in 2026) and Ph 4 to Heritage, then Briarhill Middle (A), the Marcus 9th Grade Campus and Marcus High (A). Highland Lakes goes to Valley Ridge Elementary (C), Huffines Middle (D), Lewisville High's Killough campus for grades 9–10 and the main Lewisville High campus (C) for 11–12. Confirm any address with the district.

How old and how big are the homes?

The first three plats were built mostly 1980–1983, and their homes are typically about 1,850 sq ft and one-story. Ph 4 dates mostly from 2002–2004, at about 1,850 sq ft. Highland Lakes, built 1996–2000, runs about 3,200 sq ft with four bedrooms, and 85% are two-story.

The A-train runs Monday through Saturday, every 30 minutes on weekdays and hourly on Saturdays, with no Sunday service, north to Denton and south through Old Town and Hebron to DART's Trinity Mills station in Carrollton.

Partly. 50 of 640 lots touch FEMA's 1%-annual-chance floodplain: 47 in the first three plats, mostly on Cripple Creek Ln, Purgatory Pass, Aspen Dr and Snowmass Pl, and 3 in Highland Lakes. In most cases only part of the lot is mapped. No Ph 4 lot touches it. Check the exact address on FEMA's flood map.
