Best Neighborhoods of White Rock Lake

West Lawther Drive Neighborhood

There are 34 glorious homes along West Lawther Drive. This prestigious collection of homes includes magnificent estates from the 1930s, original summer homes from the first half of the century, and contemporary homes. With deep front yards the houses are pushed back, adding to their allure as you wind around the points and coves of White Rock Lake.

Shore Acres Addition Neighborhood

Shore Acres represents many of the important homes on West Lawther Drive.

Peninsula Neighborhood

Until a few years ago the Peninsula neighborhood still had the feel of the original weekend and vacation houses at the lake from the 1920s and 1930s.  Now the neighborhood is being transformed into a stylish neighborhood of architect-designed homes.  What has not changed is the homeowners’ love for White Rock Lake and the vacation vibe the neighborhood conveys.

Emerald Isle Neighborhood

My favorite White Rock Lake niche neighborhood is Emerald Isle. Here there are only 48 homes of which I have sold 10% of them over the last few years. Emerald Isle is a quiet, hidden neighborhood with views of White Rock Lake and White Rock Lake parks which one can walk to from the homes in Emerald Isle.

Life in White Rock Lake

Ascension Coffee at White Rock Lake

Garland Road, beyond the Arboretum, for years was only known for having Richardson Bike Mart and Barbec’s across the street. In the last few years, there has been a proliferation of fashionable bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Ascension Coffee at 9353 Garland Road is another addition to the neighborhood that provides great coffee and delectable food. The high vaulted wood and steel ceilings and long open space give a hint of the original chapel that inhabited the space.

Estate Home Overlooking White Rock Lake

White Rock Lake offers very few estate properties, but the sites here are some of the best in the City. These lots have accentuated the architectural design of homes by Frank Welch and the recent architecturally significant modern homes designed at the lake by Cliff Welch @welch_architecture and around the point by Jason and Signe Smith @Smitharc Architects. These architect-designed homes have interior and exterior spaces overlooking the lake. The property in this video on a hill at the top of a finger peninsula has the most dramatic views at the lake. This site allows a home to look out over four acres of the terraced landscape designed by landscape architect David Hocker @HockerDesignGroup and further enhanced by the design of landscape architect David Rolston @DallasGardens and with a 270º view of White Rock Lake. One enjoys watching the sailboats, kayaks, rowers, and cyclists riding by. White Rock Lake in Lakewood, five miles from downtown, is the best known place in Dallas and the best kept secret.

White Rock – More than Lake

White Rock Lake is the centerpiece of White Rock but just one of its attractions. The forest, meadows, lagoons, and multiple paths through the park that connect the lake add to the enjoyment of visitors, or even better, living in the White Rock Lake Peninsula neighborhood. East Lake Highlands Drive is a quiet neighborhood street that is the chosen path of cyclists and is only a short walking distance from the Cultural Center, Bath House theater, and myriad entertainment spaces around the lake. This part of the Peninsula neighborhood might have the most extended views of rolling meadows and woods in Dallas.
