01 — THE VIBE

What The Highlands feels like.

The Highlands is where Trophy Club kept growing after the original golf-course streets filled in. Its blocks read newer than the rest of town — wider sidewalks, younger trees still earning their shade, and amenity pools that become the social calendar every summer. Kids ride to the playground in packs, and neighbors actually use their front porches. It feels like the town's second act, written with the first act's lessons in mind.

Practically speaking, life here runs on short distances. Northwest ISD schools serve the neighborhood, DFW Airport sits about 22 minutes away without the flight path overhead, and downtown Fort Worth is about 28 minutes when you need a city fix. The rest of North Texas can sprawl all it wants; The Highlands stays a place where the pool line on a June Saturday is the closest thing to traffic.

02 — THE REAL ESTATE

What homes look like here.

Housing in The Highlands is the newest Trophy Club offers: brick-and-stone traditionals, mostly two stories, with open kitchens and the kind of floor plans that assume a family calendar taped to the fridge. Lots are tidy rather than sprawling, which keeps yards manageable and neighbors close. Streets curve into cul-de-sacs, and elevations vary enough that the blocks don't blur together. It suits buyers who want Trophy Club's schools and settled feel but prefer newer systems, newer roofs, and a pool membership that comes with the HOA rather than a country club bill.

04 — GOOD QUESTIONS

Asked about The Highlands, answered straight.

Is The Highlands a good place to live?

Most families would say yes without much hesitation. The Highlands pairs Trophy Club's small-town calm with the newest housing and amenities in the city — community pools, playgrounds, and sidewalks that see actual use. Northwest ISD serves the neighborhood, DFW Airport is close without the noise, and the whole place runs at family speed. If your criteria are schools, pools, and quiet streets, it checks the boxes.

What school district serves The Highlands in Trophy Club?

The Highlands is served by Northwest ISD, the district covering Trophy Club. Schools are a major reason families target this part of North Texas, and this neighborhood in particular fills with buyers shopping the district first and the house second. Verify current campus assignments for any specific address, since boundaries and feeder patterns can be adjusted over time.

Are there new construction homes in The Highlands?

The Highlands is the newer section of Trophy Club, so its housing stock is the freshest in town — but the neighborhood is substantially established at this point, and most of what comes to market is late-model resale. Buyers wanting that nearly-new feel without a construction timeline tend to do well here. For true ground-up builds, check current listings, as availability shifts season to season.

How far is The Highlands from downtown Dallas or Fort Worth?

Plan on about 40 minutes to downtown Dallas and about 28 minutes to downtown Fort Worth, traffic permitting. DFW Airport is the real headline at about 22 minutes — close enough for early flights, far enough to skip the jet noise. Legacy West in Plano runs about 32 minutes for commuters heading northeast.

What amenities does The Highlands have?

Community pools are the anchor — they're where the neighborhood congregates from late spring through the first cold front. Add playgrounds, sidewalks, and green space woven through the blocks, plus everything the rest of Trophy Club offers a short drive away: parks, the Byron Nelson golf course, and the town's compact retail. It's amenity living at neighborhood scale rather than resort scale.
