Park Cities refers to two communities in Dallas County- the Town of Highland Park and the City of University Park. Self-governing and with their own joint school district, together they comprise the wealthiest patch of real estate in the DFW area. The larger lots, wider streets, mature trees, beautiful creek, and varied architecture make this neighborhood unique and grand in its own way. The highly desirable Highland Park ISD is also ranked at the top in the DFW area. And let’s not forget the swanky Highland Park Village which opened in 1931! This town-square was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2000 and is now home to a trendy movie theatre, luxury apparel shops, and fine-dining fit for a king.
