Murray Addition: Park-First Living in Highland Village

About Murray Addition

Murray Addition feels like it was planned around a morning walk. With Murray Park sitting right at the neighborhood’s doorstep, it’s common to see neighbors heading out early for a loop before work, then drifting toward nearby green pockets like Brazos Park and Wichita Forest Park when the weather cools down. That cluster of parks gives the area a distinctly “outside more days than not” rhythm that’s easy to recognize if you’ve spent time on this side of Highland Village.

Homes here sit in a part of ZIP code 75077 where ownership is the norm, with about 77.7% of households owning rather than renting. The housing profile matches that stability, and the typical price point in the area reinforces it, with a median home value around $464,000. You feel that in the way front yards are kept up and how quickly people learn each other’s routines—dog walks in the same direction, kids meeting up at the same park entrances, and familiar cars pulling in and out at the same times.

The neighborhood also fits naturally into Highland Village’s broader, school-centered lifestyle. Highland Village EL is close enough at roughly 0.4 miles that school-day logistics can feel simple, and Briarhill Middle and Marcus H S are both nearby for the years after that. In an area where median household income runs about $127,211 and nearly half of residents hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, the day-to-day conversation tends to orbit around school calendars, sports nights, and the next community meet-up.

Culturally, this pocket of 75077 reads like a cross-section of Denton County suburbia, with a median age of 40.5 and a mix that includes about 66.6% White residents, 14.9% Hispanic residents, 6.2% Black residents, and 8.2% Asian residents. What draws people in is the combination of established routines and easy access to everything just a few minutes away—parks for a quick reset, grocery runs that don’t require planning, and weekend evenings that can be as quiet or as social as you want them to be.

If you like a neighborhood where the park isn’t a weekend destination but part of the daily map, and where schools and errands sit close enough to keep life moving smoothly, Murray Addition tends to feel like a natural fit for people who want consistency without feeling far from the action around Highland Village.

With a median household income near $127,211 and per capita income around $55,240, buyers often look for homes they can improve over time rather than treat as a short stop.
