Advertiser Spotlight: Highland Homes – Building Dreams in Dripping Springs

When it comes to building a home, experience matters—and so does heart. At Highland Homes, both run deep.

As a native Texan, employee-owned builder with more than 40 years of experience, Highland Homes has been shaping communities and crafting dream homes across the Lone Star State. In the Dripping Springs area, their presence is especially strong, with stunning homes in beloved neighborhoods like Belterra, Highpointe, and Parten.

A Personalized Home Building Experience

Unlike many large national builders, Highland Homes is one of the few independently owned builders still standing. What does that mean for buyers? A personalized experience with real people—like Lula Leon and Renee Tarrance, two of Highland’s dedicated Sales Counselors serving the Parten community—who care deeply about helping you create the home you’ve always imagined.

From private home tours and plan selection to interior design and construction support, Highland manages every step in-house, ensuring a seamless, low-stress journey from first visit to move-in day.

Built on Passion—and Proudly Local

“We were drawn in by the energy of the homebuilding industry,” say Lula and Renee. “It’s constantly evolving, and it's incredibly rewarding to help people create a space they’ll call home.”

With a full team of employee-owners behind every build, Highland Homes brings care and consistency to every part of the process—from managing inventory and marketing to final finishes and communication.

And while others may focus on high-pressure sales, Highland takes a different approach: Listen first. Guide second. Every client relationship starts with understanding a family’s goals, style, and needs.

Creating Connections—Not Just Homes

Highland Homes doesn’t just build in Dripping Springs—they’re part of the community. Lula and Renee love the small-town charm, the laid-back atmosphere, and the warm, welcoming people. “It’s such a unique area. You get the strong sense of connection you'd expect from a small town, but with Austin just down the road—it really is the best of both worlds.”

In their downtime, you’ll often find them wandering down Mercer Street, exploring local boutiques or sipping something delicious at one of the area’s many local gems. Supporting small businesses is more than a feel-good sentiment—it’s a way of life.

Why Dripping Springs Elite?

Highland Homes chose to align with Dripping Springs Elite because the values are shared: integrity, professionalism, and passion for people. As Lula and Renee put it, “Teaming up with professionals who genuinely care about the homebuyer experience just made sense.”

Their Best Advice? Make it Enjoyable.

“If we could share one piece of advice with future homeowners—it would be this: Communication is everything. You should feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way. And don’t forget to enjoy it! You’re building your dream home—it should be fun!”
