There are many great neighborhoods in Dallas. I have lived in Lake Highlands (northeast Dallas) for the past 18 years and am very fond of our community. Served by the Richardson ISD, we have great schools. Lake Highlands is also one of the few areas in Dallas where real estate values are still appreciating. For more info on Lake Highlands see the Lake Highlands Area improvement Association
