Highland Park Village

Super expensive. There are many stores I don’t know by name and some I do. The atmosphere is European and so is the architecture. Expect to pay at least $ 300 for clothing on sale and more than $ 3,000 for items not on sale.

Beautiful shopping center. made a trip to grab a birthday gift and found myself visiting several retail establishments — great location and the property is impeccable!

This is a nice outdoor downtown type of shopping complex that looks nice and clean. Frankly don’t understand the high rating. First of all, parking is stupid crowded. Good luck finding a spot. It’s like Christmas everyday and you are fighting for a spot. Then after you park and start to walk around, you wander what all the hub bub is about. There was nothing good here. Expensive yuppy shops mixed in with a bunch of ‘who cares’ shops. I came here because of the ratings. I was disappointed and wish I didn’t make the long trek.

America’s first shopping center and still standing. I like coming here to shop and then have dinner at Patrizio’s. Since parking is always crazy I use the valet. The architecture is very beautiful. I love the center at night when it’s all lit up– they make good use of twinkle lights, potted plants and it has a Mediterranean feel. Get ready to drop some cash or perfect your window shopping.

Looking to spend big bucks? Highland Park Village is a wonderful outdoor shopping square that houses an array of high-​end boutiques: Chanel, Tom Ford, Carolina Herrera, Hermes, Dior, Celine, etc. They also have a handful of a bit more affordable shopping and dining options: Mi Cocina, Starbucks, Anthropologie, Ralph Lauren.
It’s also got some notable historical context. (Taken from their website: «Highland Park Village is America’s first shopping center and the prototype for shopping centers all over the country. This unique Mediterranean Spanish-​style development was constructed in 1931. According to the Urban Land Institute, Highland Park Village was the first planned shopping center in the United States with a unified architectural style and stores facing in toward an interior parking area, all built and managed under a single ownership.»)

This shopping center is beautiful in terms of architecture and goods. Granted, some of the staff AND customers have attitudes which are not so beautiful, but that could happen anywhere. I have been coming here for 10 years, and I’ve always seen an equal number of people both buying and window shopping, so please don’t be afraid to come here just to wander around!
Most of the shops here are prominent designers (McQueen, Tom Ford, Louboutin, Saint Laurent, etc) but there are also designers which are not as well known in the Dallas area such as James Perse, Giuseppe Zannoti, and Zegna; This is why I send people looking for designer shopping here over Northpark, you can find something rather unique. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not that hard to find a deal here. Scoop, Anthropologie and Trina Turk all run fantastic sales.
KT Burger and Celebrity Café offer delish dining that is budget friendly, or you can splurge at Bistro 31. I do wish there was a coffee option that wasn’t Starbucks, but the location here is super fast and very nice so I can’t really complain.
The parking spots inside the village can fill up, but there’s an overflow lot at Mockingbird and Douglas.

Beautiful shopping center nestled in lovely Highland Park! I love driving around and looking at all of the homes in the area and can appreciate that they are all custom and not cookie cutter. Okay, but let’s get back to the shopping. There are a wide variety of good restaurants and high dollar shopping boutique places here! Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Chanel oh my! I love that I can hit up Micocina here for a mambo taxi or Café Pacific for some red wine and seafood. Bistro/​Lounge 31 is a nice option as well. And the whole place is lit up at night like Christmas! Not far from Dallas Love Field too so you can pick up your guests from the airport and go straight over here for a nice dinner.

Great decorations on Christmas holidays!

Since moving to Dallas some seven years ago, I have always enjoyed spending time at HPV. While most of my experience there has been window shopping, as the medium sales receipt from any vendor would be three figures, I like to admire beautiful things.
HPV is home to many couture fashion houses — and serves as the only spot in the city for many of them (Chanel, Jimmy Choo, Dior). This place somehow always lifts the spirits of one who appreciates fine living.
My favorite time of the year to visit is during the Christmas holidays when the entire village is lit in white lights. It’s a holiday wonderland and thank goodness for the Starbucks to warm your spirit with holiday treats — my favorite being the caramel frap.
While parking can sometimes be an issue, it’s worth the wait. Lots to see and explore.

I didn’t see some of my fav high end stores here, but at least they have Chanel and Dior! :) I rather go to the mall on Park Lane or Galleria for my shopping. I like this place because it’s actually a nice place to hang out, maybe have a nice afternoon lunch and do your groceries if you like quiet. Malls tend to be too loud and kind of busy. This place is kind of busy but still quiet. :P

In A Nutshell:
*It’s the Beverly Hills or 5^th Avenue of Texas.
*You’ll find all of the high-​end, luxury stores here.
Overall, I should mention that Tom Ford’s latest (5^th USA) store happens to be located at Highland Park Village.

I have heard that this was the first shopping center in the country, but I also have heard that about the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City and I would think somewhere in the Northeast would have had a shopping center before that.
Regardless, over the time I have known about Highland Park Village, it has become gradually nicer and nicer and nicer, and now I can’t imagine a place anywhere with a higher end collection of stores.
It is an awesome place just too expensive for me to shop at, but it is fun to look.

Very chic, regal, elegant… and pricey! If you love the James Perses, Ralph Laurens, Chanels and Loro Pianas of the world, then this place is for you! There is a good amount of parking during the daytime hours yet after 4:30 PM or so, the parking areas fill up quick. I’ve noticed that there is valet parking towards the front of the shopping area, so that is always a possibility. And yes, there is also a Starbucks nearby should you want to get your caffeine fix prior to shopping.
Very beautiful architecture, especially at night. Extremely nice to shop in. I haven’t tried any of the restaurants yet but I imagine that this would be a pretty good choice for a romantic evening. Check Highland Park Village out for sure, folks.

Fabulous selection of top-​shelf shops: Chanel, Alex MacQueen, Jimmy Choo… The place to be seen and the place to spend your husband’s money. Ultimately, however, it’s the place to be seen spending your husband’s money.
The clothes are wonderful. ‘It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such – such beautiful shirts before.’

This is a beautiful little shopping center tucked away off Preston Rd in Highland Park. It holds many high end stores as well as some wonderful restaurants. There’s always plenty of parking during the day. At night it can be hit or miss, but there’s always valet as an option if you choose. Its a great place to wander around for the afternoon, see a movie or grab a bite to eat.

I was in the area for work and trying to find something relatively close to kill some time — if I had known what I was walking into, I would not have gone.
Basically: Don’t bother going unless you make buckets of money and can afford designer everything and anything. I didn’t bother going in half the stores from the disdained looks I got at my Target level cost clothes…/sigh. But you’ll see high end cars and tons of rich — well — anyone! The architecture is that of common outdoor malls these days.
On the upswing, walking around the ritzy neighborhood surrounding the center is really entertaining — more-​so than window shopping at designer stuff I could never afford.

Crazy nice place! And as expensive as it is nice. Elegant and beautiful architecture and the lights during the holidays are breathtaking. Granted, I don’t usually buy too much there except for Starbucks and then maybe Tom Thumb and Patrizios, but it is fun to see and walk around. There are also a few other places that you can go to without breaking the bank… Anthropologie, William Sonoma, the movie theater, the Pacugio, Mi Cocina, etc.

I love this place! It has a very nice collection of shopping experiences and restaurants!
The shops are a little more high end, so you can usually find that special something you are looking for! Also this place is exciting and beautiful during the Holliday season!

Ladies, gentlemen, this magical place is a beacon and symbol of fashion, brilliant architecture, elegance and stunning views. Every majoy high end fashion store will be here and you get a feeling of magic every time you walk through here at night. This is the second shopping square in the USA, making it a National Historical landmark. Any Dallasite will tell you, this is one of our diamonds in our amazing city. Date night, bar catch up or just world class shopping and dining, this place has something for everyone. If you have a guest visiting Dallas, this is a must. He/​she will be jealous that you live in such a majestic city with gems like this.

It is a beautiful place with the lights on. You can see in some of the pictures people have posted how amazing the lighted trees look. The architecture is cool old spanish architecture. It has a great feel. All the shops are super fancy except the movie theater, grocery store and starbucks, but it is worth checking out. There is also a Mi Cocina there. It really is a pretty cool place.
