What is the cost of living in Highland Shores 2-C?

Specific cost-of-living indices and a Regional Price Parity (RPP) breakdown weren’t provided for Highland Shores 2-C, so I can’t accurately compare overall prices, housing, goods, or utilities to the U.S. average where 100 equals the national baseline. What we can quantify is property tax structure. In Highland Village, the city property tax rate is $0.5010 per $100 of valuation, and the Denton County property tax rate is $0.1859 per $100, for a combined city+county estimate of $0.6869 per $100 of assessed value, before adding any school district or special district rates (those additional rates weren’t provided here).

Texas also has no state income tax, which can help offset housing and tax costs for many households in the Highland Village area.
