About Old Lake
Highlands
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.
