Ling & Ting, the resident ducks, may be the backyard's biggest fans—but the true star of this property is the land! Located just 528 yards from White Rock Lake Park, this exceptional quarter-acre homesite presents a rare opportunity to build your dream home in one of East Dallas' most desirable neighborhoods. The expansive lot in Old Lake Highlands is graced by mature trees and an abundance of open green space, creating a peaceful setting that's as inviting to wildlife as it is to future homeowners. While the highest and best use of this property is as a future homesite, the existing residence offers flexibility for those not ready to build immediately. The home is not currently being shown but in good condition and could potentially be leased until you're ready to begin construction. Whether you're a builder, investor, or buyer seeking the perfect homesite, this property offers endless possibilities in an unbeatable location. Enjoy the best of the White Rock Lake lifestyle with miles of scenic hiking and biking trails, kayaking, sailing, fishing, picnic areas, a nearby dog park, and the Dallas Arboretum just minutes away. Opportunities to acquire an oversized homesite this close to the lake are increasingly rare. Please do not walk the property without an appointment. Contact the listing agent to schedule a visit so the resident ducks, Ling & Ting, can be safely secured before accessing the backyard. Bring your architect, your builder, and your imagination—this is your chance to create something truly special near one of Dallas' most treasured outdoor destinations.
Old Lake Highlands, located between White Rock Lake and Lake Highlands, is a residential and lakeside Dallas neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the White Rock Lake spillway at Lawther Drive, where cyclists, runners, and picnickers circulate beside open water and skyline views. Architectural lines lean low and modern, with brick ranches and thoughtful renovations set back behind deep lots. Daily rhythms orbit the lake’s trails and pocket parks, with a calm, outdoors-forward feel. Community pillars include the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, White Rock Lake Park, and the Bath House Cultural Center for exhibitions and performances. Nearby corridors along Garland Road add local dining and coffee without shifting the quiet residential tone.

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.
