The master-planned community of Highland Shores is located in northwest Highland Village, Texas on the south shore of Lake Lewisville. With the first Highland Shores’ homes constructed in 1985, the wonderfully organized and active residents of this Highland Village TX real estate already exemplify the best of a hometown spirit.
