Roughly 360 acres of custom estate homesites, green space and trails.
The Highlands of Northlake is a custom estate-home community in the City of Northlake, Denton County, developed across approximately 360 acres with roughly one-acre homesites, green space and trails. According to the official community website, homes here are 100% custom: lot owners may choose their own builder or build with the community's preferred custom builders. The community sits along the FM 407 corridor west of I-35W. Travel time to any destination varies with route, traffic, weather and construction.
For buyers drawn to estate-sized lots, custom home building and a quieter setting, The Highlands answers a different question than Northlake's larger master-planned villages. Because it is a custom-home community, the details that matter, homesite selection, builder participation, HOA dues, taxes and assessments, are verified by address rather than assumed across the whole community.
The approximately 360-acre figure, roughly one-acre homesites, approximately 50 acres of green space and approximately two miles of trails come from the official community website, reviewed October 2, 2026. A builder page has published approximately 363 acres, so acreage figures vary slightly by source. Current lot availability, home specifications and pricing change and should be verified against the current MLS and directly with the active builders.

Corrections and notes from this review (October 2, 2026)
- An earlier version of this guide described Providential Custom Homes as the currently verified builder. That wording has been corrected: per the official community website, homes in The Highlands are fully custom and lot owners may choose their own builder or build with the community's preferred custom builders. Providential Custom Homes actively builds there, and Kindred Homes and Glacier Custom Homes also market homes in the community. No builder has been verified as exclusive.
- The community size was previously published as approximately 363 acres per a builder page. The official community website describes approximately 360 acres; both figures are cited in this guide rather than choosing between them.
- This review could not verify the items below, so they are left open rather than filled in: the full current list of open amenity facilities beyond the documented trails and green space; lot-by-lot new construction inventory, pricing or incentives from each builder; whether a specific homesite is currently available; and the exact HOA dues and PID assessment for any single property. Verify each with the community, the applicable builder, the HOA, the Town of Northlake and the current MLS before making any decision.
Community size, builders, schools, HOA dues, tax rates, PID assessments and special assessments are subject to change. Current availability, pricing and incentives must be verified against the current MLS (NTREIS) and directly with the builder, community and HOA before making any decision. Market snapshot figures are portal data, not MLS statistics, and change without notice. HOA dues, fees and rules can change; buyers should review the current resale certificate, governing documents and fee schedule.
