Located approximately five miles north of downtown Dallas, the Park Cities of Highland Park and University Park offer their residents distinctly beautiful houses, charming and prestigious neighborhoods, and an incredible natural setting that features the picturesque parkland that runs along the banks of Turtle Creek.
The Park Cities constitute DFW's most exclusive luxury home enclave. Only about thirty percent of the Park Cities pre-owned homes sold are priced at less than $1 million, and quite a few of these transactions are to acquire lots on which new homes can be constructed.
The Park Cities area also has the distinction of both having the most luxury mansions and the most established luxury neighborhoods in the metroplex. Recently sold pre-owned luxury homes selling for $1 million or more brought an average $350.40 per square foot and were on average 35.4 years old. Newly constructed luxury homes sold for a reported average of $341.50 per square foot.
