About Highland Village

Small-town feel, premium address

Highland Village is home to approximately 16,000 residents and offers a small-town atmosphere with premium property values. Situated between Lewisville Lake and the FM 2499 corridor, the city provides a quiet, established residential character that larger neighboring communities cannot replicate.

Highland Shores is the city’s premier lakefront community, offering direct access to Lewisville Lake. All Highland Village properties are zoned to Marcus High School — one of the highest-performing high schools in Lewisville ISD — which is a major driver of demand and property values.

How are lakefront properties in Highland Shores appraised?

Highland Shores is a premier lakefront community on Lewisville Lake, and lakefront properties require specialized analysis. The value of lake access and views depends on lot characteristics — direct waterfront with a boat dock, elevated view lots, and interior lots with community lake access all carry different premiums. We have experience with lakefront valuations and understand how to properly quantify water influence in Highland Village.

Can I use an appraisal for my Highland Village property tax protest?

Yes. Highland Village properties are appraised by the Denton Central Appraisal District (DCAD). An independent certified appraisal provides strong evidence for a property tax protest. The deadline to file is May 15 each year. We recommend ordering your appraisal in March or April to have it ready in time.
