Stafford Addition at the Heart of Highland Village Day-to-Day

About Stafford Addition

You can tell you’re in Stafford Addition by how quickly errands turn into park time: Dutch Bros. Coffee is a short hop away, and the neighborhood’s daily rhythm naturally spills toward Lower Sellmeyer Park, Victoria Park, and Turpin Park for after-school meetups and evening loops. It’s the kind of Highland Village pocket where a quick stop at Tom Thumb can still leave time to swing by K-9 Kastle before dinner, and where the lights at Marcus Marauders Stadium give fall nights an unmistakably local soundtrack.

Stafford Addition sits in the same 75077 fabric that gives Highland Village its strong owner-occupied feel, with 75.6% of housing owner-occupied across the ZIP and a homeownership rate around 77.7%. That stable base shows up in the way neighbors use the nearby parks as extensions of their yards and how school calendars shape the week. The area’s median age of 40.5 keeps things active but grounded, and with 16.5% of residents under 18, you’ll notice plenty of families moving between playgrounds and school events.

The neighborhood fits neatly into the Lewisville ISD ecosystem, with highly rated campuses close by that locals talk about by name. Highland Village Elementary is close enough to feel like part of the neighborhood routine, and Briarhill Middle and Marcus High School keep older kids connected to Highland Village’s sports and activity scene. That “everything’s nearby” feeling is a real draw in a place where the median household income is $127,211 and many households build their schedules around school, youth sports, and quick trips to Flower Mound for shopping.

Housing expectations in this area tend to track the 75077 market, where the typical home value is about $464,000. In Stafford Addition, that translates into buyers who want a comfortable Denton County lifestyle with easy access to parks, A-rated schools, and coffee-and-grocery convenience without giving up the quieter, residential pace Highland Village is known for.

You’ll see Stafford Addition attract people who want their evenings to look like a quick workout at Planet Fitness, a stroll through Unity Park or Grand Park, and an easy meet-up at The Porch Patio Bar & Kitchen—close enough to feel spontaneous, but far enough that home still feels like a neighborhood.

Living in Stafford Addition: Parks, Schools, and Quick Errands

Coffee or the nearby Starbucks, and a lot of households structure the day around school drop-offs and activity schedules.

Even for renters, the local baseline is notable, with median gross rent around $2,098 per month in the ZIP, which tends to keep the rental pool more limited and pushes many long-term residents toward ownership.

For outdoor time, Stafford Addition’s convenience is hard to overstate because there’s always a nearby green space when you need one. Lower Sellmeyer Park and Victoria Park are close enough for an impromptu playground stop, and Turpin Park and Brazos Park make it easy to rotate destinations so kids don’t burn out on the same slide. K-9 Kastle is a favorite for pet owners, and when you want a longer stretch, it’s easy to mix in Unity Park, Grand Park, or Highland Lakes Park to keep the week feeling active.

Errands stay simple. Groceries can be as quick as Tom Thumb or Walmart Neighborhood Market, while Whole Foods Market and Target are close enough to become part of a weekly routine. Fitness options are similarly convenient, from Planet Fitness and Anytime Fitness to LA Fitness, and the swim-school options—Aqua-Tots Swim Schools and Emler Swim School—fit naturally into family schedules. For a casual night out, locals bounce between Legends Sports Bar and The Brass Tap, with The Points After North in the mix when you want a later stop.
