Inside, enjoy two spacious living areas, vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a functional kitchen with plenty of workspace, and a jetted tub in primary bathroom. The two-car garage also features a convenient bonus bathroom, while the backyard offers a covered patio and in-ground pool, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

Lakeland Hills, located between White Rock Lake and Lake Highlands, is a residential and lakeside Dallas neighborhood with winding streets and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the White Rock Lake Trail at Winfrey Point, where cyclists, runners, and picnic blankets set the daily tempo. Housing leans mid-century ranches and updated brick homes, with deep setbacks and shaded yards. Weekend rhythms track the shoreline, from paddle launches to sunset walks. Nearby cultural pillars like the Bath House Cultural Center and the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden add gallery-and-garden texture. DART’s Lake Highlands Station links the area to the wider city grid.

Single Family 7,500 sq ft District
This district comprises a major portion of the existing single family dwelling development of the city and is considered to be the proper zoning classification for large areas of the undeveloped land remaining in the city appropriate for single family dwelling use. This district is intended to be composed of single family dwellings together with public and private schools, churches, and public parks essential to create basic neighborhood units. Limited portions of these neighborhood units may consist of denser residential zoning classifications which are shown on the zoning district map or which later may be created by amendments to the map.
