First Section of Old Highland Park
Highland Park Homes for Sale and Real Estate in First Section of Old Highland Park
The first development in Highland Park came in 1907 on 100 acres bounded by Gillon, Armstrong, St. Johns and the Katy Trail. It was not only beyond the dust and smoke as advertised, it was beyond the trolley line or any sense of residential civilization. Despite its slow start, you can still see fine prairie style and Craftsman bungalows built on the large lots of this addition. You will also see some of Highland Park’s most beautiful homes that have been added in every subsequent decade to take advantage of these lots up to an acre in size. Architect O’Neil Ford designed a home on Armstrong, architect David Williams designed a home on St. Johns and architect Anton Korn and architects Fooshee and Cheek designed homes on Alice Circle. Here, a resident can enjoy the splendor of Old Highland Park, the manicured ravines of Prather Park or Connor Park along St. Johns and still be within walking distance of the Katy Trail and the retail vibrancy of Knox Street.
Featured Land For Sale in First Section of Old Highland Park
3509 Lexington Avenue, Dallas, Texas
This rare Highland Park 100-foot wide lot for sale is located on Lexington Avenue, a beautiful street of architecturally significant estate homes. There are very few Highland Park lots for sale that have this much land, almost half an acre, so well placed in this prestigious neighborhood of old Highland Park.
Highland Park prices are not speculative because Highland Park buyers have the highest incomes and net worth in relationship to the price of the homes they are buying. A small pool of homes available with the distinct advantages of Highland Park not replicable in other parts of Dallas or the country make Highland Park an attractive investment and place for a home.
