“When did the Big Ask become a thing? (Or is this a Texas thing?) Can’t wait to see what marriage proposals turn into. Just me? Pretty sure I’m alone here.”

Dru Gilbert Ubben

“Awesome! I pass by this place when going to the library sometimes. I always notice the different sayings they have. That was cool of them to let him do that.”

About The Cover

If you already live here, then you get this. Like all of us, you were probably drawn to the mature trees and topography, the proximity to downtown, White Rock Lake and The Dallas Arboretum, the abundance of locally owned retail and restaurants and the wide variety of options for great schools. And you stayed for the neighbors who became friends, the small-town feeling and the sense of belonging to something bigger and greater.

Because Lake Highlands is in us, our job helping buyers and sellers is easy – our passion for this place is heartfelt and genuine. So whether you’re moving in, moving up or moving on, work with the No. 1 real estate brand in East Dallas.
