Extremely gorgeous and very developed neighborhood. Reminds me of Beverly hills to be exact. Lots of boutique shopping and lots and lots of fun activities. Lovely parks and lake as well as a stunning golf club.

The community is nice and quiet. The Katy Trail runs through it, giving residents lots of opportunities to stay active and enjoy the outdoors.

The schools in Highland Park are very good as they receive numerous donations from the wealthy parents that live there, however, this area is very low is diversity I recall my daughter telling me that only 1% of students at HPMS, the middle school, are Asian.
