Majestic trees, spring-fed waters and rolling hills encompass the beautiful master-planned community of Lake Ridge.

This unique development boasts the highest elevation in North Texas, providing spectacular views of both major skylines, a 7,500-acre lake and miles of rolling hills.

Nestled in southwest Dallas County, Lake Ridge appeals to everyone with its abundant landscapes. Buyers can choose what they want in their own backyard from sparkling ponds and creeks to towering trees and even a golf course – each complete with magnificent views.

Located just minutes from Dallas and Fort Worth, the community’s central location is what attracts people to Lake Ridge.

“It’s far enough out to be away from the city, but close enough to have the amenities of the Metroplex,” property owner Ray Barlow said. “We wanted to be close to the theaters, malls and everyday life things, but Lake Ridge offers you a place to get away from that big city.” Property owners at Lake Ridge also have a variety of amenities right outside their doors.

The community features a number of parks with walking trails, fishing ponds, picnic tables and playgrounds.

Lake Ridge also is home to Valley Ridge Park, which contains 154 acres of sports fields, hiking and biking trails, playgrounds and a fishing pond for families to enjoy. The park also has an amphitheater with live entertainment during the summer.

“We wanted a place for our kids to run and not have a neighbor right next to us,” property owner Randy Yorke said. “They can go out an play. It’s very important that our kids have an opportunity to play recreational sports and to get outside.” For those who enjoy the water, Lake Ridge lies on Joe Pool Lake, the perfect escape for skiing, boating, sailing and fishing.

And for those avid golfers, neighboring Tangle Ridge Golf Club offers a competitive 18-hole course, which was rated among the top 10 golf courses in the state.
