About this home

If you know the Peninsula neighborhood, you know how special it is. Winding streets, beautiful homes, mature trees, and White Rock Lake just a short distance away give this pocket of East Dallas a character all its own. And if you have ever looked for a place to build here, you also know how rarely an opportunity like this comes along. 9345 East Lake Highlands Drive offers an oversized .31-acre building site, larger than many lots in the neighborhood, with beautiful mature trees and gently sloping topography that opens up interesting possibilities for custom architecture. With approximately 65 feet of frontage and an irregular shape extending as deep as 233 feet, there is room to think creatively about what could be built here. But what makes this property even more unusual is what is across the street: a park. Instead of looking directly into another row of homes, the property enjoys views of green space, creating an open, natural feeling that is increasingly difficult to find in the middle of a major city. Trees, park views, winding streets, and the lake nearby make the setting feel surprisingly removed from the density of metropolitan Dallas. And then there is White Rock Lake. From the property, it is just a short distance to the lake and its extensive trail system, putting walking, running, biking, and some of Dallas’s best outdoor recreation practically outside your door. Located in Dallas ISD and feeding to Hexter Elementary, this is a rare opportunity to build a dream home in the Peninsula on an oversized lot near White Rock Lake. Building sites here are difficult to find. One with this much land, mature trees, interesting topography, park views, and such easy access to the lake is something truly special.
