About Highland Hills II

In Highland Hills II, it’s normal to see neighbors cutting through to Murray Park in the early evening, or taking a longer loop that passes Wichita Forest Park and Bruce Lockhart Lions Club Park before circling back home.

Highland Hills II sits in the same close-knit orbit as Highland Hills I, III, IV, and V, with the kind of familiar street rhythm you get in established Highland Village neighborhoods.

The overall vibe leans calm and residential, but it doesn’t feel isolated—errands and school drop-offs happen fast, and the neighborhood connects naturally to the larger Highland Village/Lewisville Lake lifestyle.

Daily life here is influenced by the fact that ZIP 75077 runs on strong owner occupancy and long-term roots, with 77.7% of households owning rather than renting.

What draws people in tends to be the same set of Highland Village priorities: quick access to lake-adjacent parks like Lewisville Lake Park and Point Vista Park, a strong local school network, and a neighborhood feel where weekend routines revolve around park time, coffee runs, and seeing familiar faces around the trails.
