Kidd Estates: Park-Hopping Convenience in Highland Village

About Kidd Estates

Kidd Estates sits in the part of Highland Village where it’s normal to measure your day by which park you’re closest to. Lower Sellmeyer Park and Victoria Park are both about a third of a mile away, and that proximity shapes the neighborhood’s rhythm: quick after-dinner walks, weekend pickup games, and the kind of casual “see you again tomorrow” familiarity that comes from crossing paths on the same trails. With Turpin Park just up the road and Brazos Park close by, outdoor time here doesn’t feel like a special outing—it’s simply what you do between errands and activities.

The vibe around Kidd Estates is very much tied to the broader 75077 community profile: stable, established, and high-participation in local schools and sports. In the surrounding ZIP, the typical home value lands around $464,000, and that number shows up in the care people put into homes and yards, plus the steady pace of updates rather than constant turnover. Household incomes in the area trend high as well, with a median around $127,211, which supports the polished-but-practical feel—families investing in routines, activities, and a long-term home base.

Education is part of the neighborhood’s identity because so many highly rated campuses sit close to everyday life. Highland Village Elementary is roughly 0.6 miles away, and Briarhill Middle and Marcus H S are each under about 1.1 miles, making school mornings feel more like a quick local drive than a cross-town trek. The presence of multiple A-rated Lewisville ISD options nearby, including McAuliffe Elementary and Prairie Trail Elementary, gives the area a distinctly school-centered energy, especially around games and events at Marcus Marauders Stadium.

Kidd Estates also fits neatly into the “easy access, not constant hustle” side of Highland Village. You can grab coffee at Dutch Bros. Coffee around 0.4 miles away, meet friends at Legends Sports Bar just as close, or head to Whole Foods Market and Target about 2 miles out when the weekly shop needs to cover more than basics. The neighborhood tends to attract people who want parks on repeat, strong nearby schools, and the kind of day-to-day convenience where your favorite coffee run and your kid’s campus are both minutes away.

The housing picture in the 75077 area leans strongly toward ownership, and it shows in how settled the streets feel. Around 75.6% of homes in the broader ZIP are owner-occupied, and that stability is part of why Kidd Estates reads as a “know your neighbors” pocket rather than a place with constant move-ins. The typical home value in the area is about $464,000, and many buyers shopping here focus on getting a long-term fit—space for everyday living, a comfortable driveway-and-garage lifestyle, and room to personalize over time.

School routines are a defining feature of the neighborhood’s weekdays. Highland Village Elementary is only about 0.6 miles away, and McAuliffe Elementary is around 0.9 miles, which keeps mornings straightforward.

Coffee habits have a similar “pick your usual” flexibility, from Dutch Bros. Coffee around 0.4 miles to Sip | Stir about 1.1 miles and Cerulean Blue Coffee House around 2.6 miles when you want to linger.

Commuting patterns in the area reflect a mix of traditional office drives and remote work: about 68.5% of workers in the ZIP drive alone, while roughly 23.1% work from home.

With a median age around 40.5 in the ZIP and about 16.5% of residents under 18, Kidd Estates tends to feel like a place where family schedules, fitness stops at Planet Fitness or Anytime Fitness around 0.4 miles, and school calendars set the tempo.

What is the cost of living in Kidd Estates?

Cost-of-living indices and BEA Regional Price Parity (RPP) numbers were not provided for Kidd Estates or 75077, so I can’t break down how local prices compare to the U.S. average of 100 for overall costs, housing, goods, or utilities. In general, Highland Village-area households often feel the biggest ongoing cost in housing and property taxes rather than state income tax, since Texas has no state income tax. What we can quantify from your tax data is the local property tax rates you’ll see on a home here. Highland Village’s city property tax rate is $0.5010 per $100 of valuation, and Denton County’s rate is $0.1859 per $100. Combined, that’s an estimated $0.6869 per $100 before adding any school district or special district rates (not provided here), which are typically a meaningful part of a Texas property tax bill. Using the area’s typical home value of about $464,000, those two rates alone illustrate why many buyers budget carefully for escrow and look closely at exemptions and valuations through Denton Central Appraisal District.
