Unique architecture seated near Historic Downtown Carrolton

Just a short drive from popular local and chain restaurants and community parks, Carrollton Highlands is a quirky neighborhood in a prime DFW location. With a variety of architectural home styles, this leafy neighborhood is anything but cookie-cutter. "It's one of a kind in that it was developed by custom builders, so you will see unique houses one after another," says local Realtor Michael Song of Texas Legacy Realty. "It's a lot of newer developments in northern Dallas, you won't see any houses like this at all.” The community sits right beside Historic Downtown Carrolton, illuminated by small community events, local restaurants and breweries. The City of Carrolton celebrates downtown’s unique culture with a series of bronze “critters”. Crosby the Bee, Perry the Mouse and Webb the Frog are just some of the small statues locals can find walking down Broadway and Main Street. All of the shopping and upscale dining of Legacy and Frisco is just a little way north, and Lewisville and Grapevine Lakes are only 16 miles away.

Leafy lawns give way to Craftsman, colonial and ranch-style abodes

On Carrollton Highlands' wooded streets are older ranch homes intermingled with contemporary Craftsman and colonial-style dwellings. Properties often have large, sprawling yards. Small ranch-style homes can be priced between $200,000 and $300,000, while larger properties with four to five bedrooms can range from $500,000 to $600,000. Homes in Carrollton Highlands tend to spend as little as three to four weeks on the market. "The market is pretty strong there; there's a lot of people wanting to live on a bigger lot," Song says. "If you want to live in your own palace, per se, this is a good neighborhood for it."

Getting in and around Carrollton Highlands

Carrollton Highlands borders Interstate 35, which feeds directly into downtown Dallas, stationed 17 miles south. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is roughly 13 miles away, which provides a direct route to Dallas by railway. Historic Downtown Carrolton, along with some of I-35E to I-635, will be under construction from late 2022 through 2027 to improve and widen the highway from six to eight lanes. Construction will likely cause nearby congestion and noise. Residents can get immediate healthcare needs from Carrollton Regional Medical Center, roughly 6 miles north.
