Where to stay in Highland Park
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.

The area keeps its residential calm around Park Cities Presbyterian Church, with landmark houses like the Hugh Prather House and the Jack Wrather House lining its blocks.
If you would rather base yourself among Highland Park's older homes than in central Dallas, and can travel in for the city's sights, the enclave repays the choice.
