Merriman Park is a proud, long-standing Lake Highlands neighborhood where neighbors know each other, large and manicured yards and tall trees welcome you, and community ties really do matter.
Homes here are primarily classic ranch-style, built in the 60s and 70s, many of which have been thoughtfully updated over the years. The lots are generous, the trees are mature, and the pride of ownership shows on every block.
Zoned to top-performing Richardson ISD schools—including Merriman Park Elementary right in the neighborhood—it’s a favorite for families who want strong schools and a true sense of belonging.
You’re also walking distance to White Rock Trail, Flag Pole Hill, and the DART rail station, plus minutes from the Lake Highlands Town Center and White Rock Lake. It’s one of the rare East Dallas pockets where convenience and calm actually coexist.
