Dallas-Fort Worth MSA

Highland Park leads the Dallas-Fort Worth MSA in median monthly owner cost at $4,001—$300 above second-place University Park. This isn't just a price point; it's a signal of a deepening divide in who can afford to belong in the region’s most established communities. The full cost of ownership—mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, and HOA fees—has become a gatekeeper, not just a budget line.
