Lake Highlands is booming! But this is making it harder for buyers to get into a renovated home for less than a million bucks. Do not fret! We found two exceptional Lake Highlands offerings that have all the updates and amenities with prime locales in this sought-after neighborhood. Take your pick in this week’s Splurge vs. Steal.
Splurge: Lake Highlands Stunner With Head-Turning Renovation Asking $925K
First up, a Lake Highlands contemporary you might recognize. We showcased this one back in July and it has since taken a price cut, putting it back on our radar once again. Yes, this beauty may technically be our splurge but it is worth every penny considering the renovation is already done for you!
In fact, the listing reveals, “No expense spared on this renovation that rivals new construction. Beautifully landscaped and circle drive. Impressive entry hall with separate formal areas that allow for versatility to meet your specific needs. Huge family room with soaring ceilings, fireplace, lighting, and open access to kitchen and bar.”
It’s no wonder this Lake Highlands looker has us swooning! The four-bedroom, four-bathroom gem features all the designer upgrades. This includes riff cut white oak floors, a dramatic floating staircase, two bedrooms on each floor, and a fabulous living area with a view.
On Facebook, listing agent Kevin Caskey with Halo Group Realty told his followers, “Incredible opportunity on this modern Lake Highlands custom…3,817 square feet at only $242 a square foot for this type of finish out is something you don’t want to miss out on at $925,000!”
We reached out and he added that it’s all about the “Amazing finishes in this high-end custom renovation in Lake Highlands, rivaling any new construction, with a perfect location in the middle of the neighborhood but just a short walk to schools, great retail, and restaurants.”
And there is even more to love! This includes a gracious master suite with massive walk-in closet and stunning spa bath. It’s also perfect for those with teens who want a huge media room. And lastly, this home is great for growing families who are looking to get into the Lake Highlands neighborhood at a fantastic price.
The heavily treed yet low-maintenance backyard seals the deal. Don’t sleep on this one folks!

Steal: Remodeled And Ready For Holiday Cheer For $649.9K
Next up, our steal. This new and improved beauty has four-bedrooms, three-full-bathrooms, and a pool! It sits in Merriman Park Estates North on a prime cul-de-sac-lot. And the locale puts you just minutes from all the Lake Highlands amenities including great schools. We love the inviting curb appeal. But once inside, it really shines!
The light and bright interiors afford rich hardwoods, exposed beams, and ample space to entertain. The upgraded master is a thing of beauty too! Even better, this home gives you options with the master and two-bedrooms on the main floor and one bedroom upstairs.
Outside, the whole family will love the fabulous quartz pool with stamped concrete surround. Per the listing it has, “2020 Exterior paint, 2020 Roof, 8′ board on board fence, full sprinkler, and soaker lines.”
Other touches include low E windows, beautiful skylights, all popcorn ceilings removed, and relatively new electrical and lighting. This one’s a keeper!
