Highland Park is a separate town, incorporated in 1913, that resisted annexation by Dallas for decades and is now bordered by Dallas and University Park. Turtle Creek winds through it, and the town's parks, including Lakeside Park, follow the creek. Highland Park Village, built in 1931 at Preston Road and Mockingbird Lane, was among the first planned shopping centers in the United States. Housing is largely 1910s through 1930s construction on the original plat, with extensive teardown and rebuild activity in recent decades. Highland Park ISD is the taxing district.
Highland Park sits in Dallas County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 2.15 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.95 to 2.60 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $505 a month. The Texas homestead exemption reduces only the school district portion, not the county or city portion, which is the detail most online estimates miss.
Taxes and insurance are a large share of a monthly payment in Texas, so a national mortgage estimate will understate what a Highland Park home actually costs to hold.
