Highland Village is a picturesque and affluent suburban city located in Denton County, Texas. Nestled along the southern shores of Lewisville Lake in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex, it serves primarily as a residential bedroom community known for its high quality of life, highly rated public schools, and extensive parks and trail systems. The city is widely recognized for its strong community focus, family-friendly atmosphere, and low crime rates.
While largely residential, Highland Village is also a regional shopping destination, anchored by The Shops at Highland Village—a large open-air retail and dining complex. The city retains a close-knit, small-town charm while offering residents immediate access to the broader economic and cultural opportunities of the DFW Metroplex. It is particularly known for community events, such as the annual Highland Village Lions Club Balloon Festival, which draws visitors from across North Texas.
