Highland Park has become synonymous with luxury between its extravagant estates and high-end boutiques. Often referred to as “the Bubble,” it’s a desirable, two-square-mile haven for Dallas’s wealthy.

Grandeur and opulence are the norms in what may be Dallas’s most prestigious neighborhood. Highland Park’s leafy streets are lined with sizable, multi-million-dollar houses, each with its own architectural charm framed by immaculate landscaping.

The Spanish-style Highland Park Village was the first self-contained shopping center in the country when it opened in 1931. Today, it’s the go-to for all high-end luxury retail, including Hermès, Dior, and Chanel. The Dallas Country Club clubhouse boasts beautiful architecture and design elements that make it one of the landmarks of Highland Park.

It's also one of the best places in Dallas to take your children for an afternoon of fun.
