Homes for sale in Highpointe, TX

Elevation, views, and larger lots

Highpointe earns its name. Sitting above the 290 corridor in Dripping Springs, it offers some of the longest sightlines in the area, along with homesites that run larger than the typical master-planned community. The amenity center — pools, tennis, fitness, and trails — is genuinely well used, and Dripping Springs ISD schools anchor buyer demand.

Not all view lots are permanent

This is the single most important thing to understand in Highpointe. Some homes look out over land that will remain undeveloped; others look over lots that will eventually be built. Grading, drainage, and retaining requirements also vary sharply with elevation, and they affect both cost of ownership and long-term maintenance. Jennifer has walked these streets and can tell you which view is protected by topography or covenant, and which is simply a view for now.

Buying resale versus building

Highpointe has both established resale homes and newer construction, and the right choice usually comes down to timing and incentives. Builder rate buydowns and closing cost credits can outperform a lower resale price in a given month, or badly underperform it in another. Because Jennifer is also a licensed Texas loan officer, she can model both scenarios against your actual file rather than a generic assumption.

Behind the gates at Highpointe

Highpointe is one of the few gated communities on the Dripping Springs side of the 290 corridor, and the elevation is the point: streets climb along a ridge, and the better lots hold long views west that cannot be built out. The amenity center anchors the social side with a resort-style pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness room, and a clubhouse used for neighborhood events. Housing stock is largely 2000s-and-newer semi-custom on quarter-to-half-acre lots, so the condition spread between homes is narrower here than in older Hill Country neighborhoods, and pricing tends to turn on view, lot size, and how recently the kitchen was updated.
